Patent GB-191302700-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1913-02-01
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 2700. Telephon Apparat Fabrik E. Zwietusch & Co. March 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Exchange systems and apparatus.-In systems using power-driven switches, the relay controlling the driving-motor is energized only when the system is in use, thus preventing waste of power and unnecessary wear. The switches may be grouped with a separate shaft, motor, and controlling-relay for each group, so that only the driving-mechanism of the groups wherein calls are in progress will be active. The invention is shown applied to line-finder switches for distributing calls to operators. The line-finder is controlled by a sequence-switch of the kind described in Specification 20,840/09, which is represented by its clutch-magnet 45 and contacts 27, 34. When a subscriber 50 calls, his line relay 54 closes a circuit through the relays 56, 55 and resistance 60. The relay 56 energizes the motor 61, which sets the shafting in operation. The relay 55 closes the circuits of the clutch magnets 17 of all the line-finders having access to the calling line. The terminals 4 of non-calling and through-connected lines being at earth potential, the finder rotates until its wiper 8 engages the terminal 4 of the calling line, when a circuit is closed over contact 28, high-resistance winding 64 of relay 63, and interrupter arm 20, which short-circuits the stop relay 62 until the brushes have been properly centred, when the shunt is removed, and the relay 62 energized, thus (1) disconnecting the clutch magnet 17, (2) energizing the holding- magnet 18, and (3) closing a circuit for the sequence-switch clutch magnet 45, which moves the sequence-switch into its third position. The subscriber's cut-off relay 53 is now energized over contact 32 and relays 63, 62, and his line extended over contacts 30, 31 and relay 71 to the repeater 67 and leads 68, 69. When the calling subscriber replaces his receiver, the relay 71 causes the clearing-lamp 72 to glow, and the operator then depresses the key 73, thus moving the sequence-switch into its normal position. While the sequence-switch is out of its normal position, its contact 33 maintains a circuit for the controlling-relay 56.
