Title: Improvements in or relating to circuit arrangements for electric discharge devices
IPC: H01J31/06
Filed: 1947-12-30
Abstract: 670,578. Electric selectors. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L. M. ERICSSON. Dec. 30, 1947 [Jan. 3, 1947], No. 34823/47. Class 40 (iv). [Also in Group XL (a)] In an arc discharge tube, wherein pairs of auxiliary electrodes can be short-circuited by the magnetic deflection of the arc thereto, movement of the arc is arrested at a pair of centring electrodes by the regulation of the magnetic force on the arc through an electron discharge tube. As a preliminary to deflecting the arc on to one of the electrodes 31 corresponding to the selected number, the arc 13 is ignited by closure of a switch in the handset 44, whereby the coil 43 is energized to close relay R1. Contact 45 is thereby closed to strike the main arc, contact 35 is closed, whereby the centring electrodes 32 are connected to a potential through the winding 34 of relay R2, and contact 40 is connected to earth through resistance 46 whereby the arc deflecting field is increased by the continuous increase of the anode current in discharge tube 38 at a rate which is determined by the values of grid condenser 41 and resistance 46. The main arc is held at the position of electrodes 32 by the local discharge current which operates relay R2 to break contact 47 and prevent further increase of the potential of grid 38. The handset is provided with a number of resistances one of which can be selected by a push-button to impose a corresponding potential on the grid 38 whereby the arc will be deflected to the appropriate auxiliary electrode 31. In a modification, deflection of the arc is effected by variation of the arc current within a fixed or varying magnetic field. In another form the valve circuit shown may be replaced by a resistance bridge wherein the magnet coil 14 is connected across one diagonal and the operating voltage across the other; push-buttons in the handsets are adapted to insert in one arm of the bridge an appropriate resistance corresponding to the selected number. Different line resistances are compensated by supplementary resistances preferably inserted in the handsets; these resistances may be disconnected, e.g. by the telephone cradle after the selected circuit has been established. An automatic regulator may fix the line current at a predetermined value for an incoming call. Specification 666,123 is referred to.

Selection of break-jack, Figs. 7-11. When start key SK is opened carriage unit 3 is returned to home position. Switches SC1- SC4 are set by hand to the number of the line to be tested. Closing of start key SK then homes dekatrons CC1-CC4 by energizing ST and starts up the horizontal drive motor 17. As the carriage 3 steps over contacts 21 it sends pulses through guard circuit G1 and drive unit D2 to dekatron CC2 which therefore steps its discharge from one cathode to the next. When the discharge reaches the cathode corresponding to the setting of switch SC2 an impulse is sent to drive unit D1 of dekatron CC1, and subsequently at each tenth impulse from the carriage unit. When the carriage unit 3 has arrived at the selected vertical an impulse passes through both dekatrons CC2, CC1 and both switches SC2, SC1 to energize CA and RA. Relay 25 releases to stop the carriage unit. RA switches the power source to vertical drive motor 18. The plug unit 4 is driven upwards until circuit is made over switches SC4, SC3 to CB, so energizing relay RB when the selected level has been reached. Relay 31 then operates to push the plug 5 into engagement with the break-jack. The plug and break-jack are shown in greater detail in Fig. 166. Specification 824,336 is referred to.
