Abstract: 19,819. Oprendek, F. Sept. 30. Telephone systems. - Relates to apparatus for strengthening telephone currents, which may be used at a subscriber's station or as an ordinary voice-current relay. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a hollow soft-iron core a carries a primary winding 6, in a local circuit with the battery k and microphone z, and also a secondary winding d connected to earth at i and to the line-wire at h. The secondary d is in series with two coils m, arranged beyond the ends of the primary a. Within the cylinder a are two iron cores n, guided with the least possible friction, and polarized by the coils p in the circuit of the battery c, so that the inner ends are of the same polarity. The induced currents in the secondary windings m attract and repel the cores n, so that these move in correspondence with the fluctuations of the primary current, and produce undulating current in the primary and secondary windings b, d, so as to strengthen the normal telephone current. In a modification, permanent magnets replace the iron cores n, the coils p, and battery c being then unnecessary. Fig. 3 shows the apparatus arranged as a line relay. The microphone being absent, the battery c supplies current to the coils p as well as to the primary b. The ends of the secondary d are connected at i, h to the two ends of the continuous telephone line.
