Title: Improvements relating to automatic telephone systems
IPC: H04Q3/62
Filed: 1936-07-10
Abstract: 477,557. Automatic exchange systems. SIEMENS BROS. & CO., Ltd., and DIXON, R. G. July 10, 1936, No. 19179. [Class 40 (iv)] In a system in which alternative means of access are provided for frequently wanted subscribers and the additional switching apparatus at the exchange consists of relays only, the only operation at a substation necessary for the selection and ringing of one of these subscribers, in addition to the usual removal of the handset, is the depression of a selecting key. Two arrangements are described, First system, Fig. 1, in which the additional connections are effected by relays only. The operation of one of the keys KA, KB energizes the corresponding relay SSA, SSB, in any event if the system has the connections marked Y and if the wanted party is idle if the system has the alternative connections marked X. SSA or SSB connects the wanted line, to the feed circuit and energizes BR which connects the calling line to the feed circuit, holds SSA or SSB in series with the wanted cut off relay COA &c., and connects up ringing current which is cut off by F when the called party replies. The operation of F also makes the holding of BR dependent -on the calling feed relay LR, so that the feed circuit is automatically released when the calling party hangs up. In the case in which the direct call breaks in on an existing connection, F pulls up immediately after BR and ringing current is not sent. Second system, Fig. 2, in which the additional connections are effected over the regular marker-controlled final selectors. The operation of one of the keys KA &c., grounds winding (1) of the corresponding shunt-field relay SMA. The removal of the handset brings the under of a link circuit of which K and SM are additional wipers onto the terminals of the calling line, and when the test relay T (not shown) is operated a circuit is made for CF in series with winding (i) of SMA. OF prevents the operation of relays CF in other links, makes hunting circuits (not shown) for the connector and completes the circuit for winding (ii) and SMA which thereupon marks the appropriate terminal in the connector bank M. When the required position is reached, SD stops the switch and if the line is idle the operation of the connector switching relay SR initiates ringing in the usual way. If the line is busy, the busy relay BR (not shown) is operated and, if the privileged subscriber has priority facilities, energizes the switching relay over the connection shown by a dotted line. According to the Provisional Specification, the finder of the link is controlled by the marking circuit over SMA(i).

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical calculating circuits
Inventor: BRAY FREDERICK HARRY
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 1957-06-20
Abstract: 845,216. Digital electric calculating-apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. June 13, 1958 [June 20, 1957], No. 19410/57. Class 106 (1). In an electric calculating circuit for adding " 1 " to a number of which each digit is expressed as a multi-element code combination, comprising means for adding " 1 " to a digit of the number, if the addition produces the code combination representing the radix of the number, this combination is replaced by the combination which represents zero and " 1 " is added to the next higher digit of the number. As described, the circuit forms part of a subscriber's metering arrangement in an automatic telephone system, e.g. as described in Specification 841,949. The arrangement includes a ferrite matrix store (not shown) in which each storage cell corresponds to a different subscriber; when a cell is operated by a meter pulse, it causes a section of a track on a magnetic drum containing the corresponding meter record to be selected, such record then being applied serially in the form of " 0 " and " 1 " signals on lines R0, R1 to the unit adding circuit shown. Each record comprises 20 bits meshed by corresponding timing signals TA1 (not shown) to TA20, including a number (to which " 1 " is to be added) comprising 4 binary coded decimal digits in positions TA4-TA7, TA8- TA11, TA12-TA15 and TA16-TA19 repectively. The unit adder comprises gating network G1-G8 which, if bistable trigger DO is set to DOO, reverses each bit received up to and including the first " 0," DO then being reset by signal RO to DO1. The decimal digits from the adder are set up in turn on pattern movement stepping register DS1-DS4 and are normally transferred therefrom to temporary store WS1-WS20 comprising a further stepping register for storing the complete new record; if however, the output of the adder is binary 1010 (representing " 10 "), test gate G9 causes trigger DR to be set to DR1 whereby gate G11 is operated to enter " 0 " in the temporary store instead of the digit in DS1-DS4, and DO is again set to DOO to cause " 1 " to be added to the next higher decimal digit. The add " 1 " operation is initiated by signal CF1 which sets CC to CC1 so as open gates G3, G6 and to allow clock pulses PA from the drum to step the registers, and the new record is subsequently extracted from register WS1-WS20 by signal RI1. Specifications 791,156 and 791,157 also are referred to.

Filed: 1953-07-14
Abstract: 743,743. Flexible tubes. COMPOFLEX CO., Ltd. July 14, 1954 [July 14, 1953], No. 19545/53. Class 99(2). A tubular member 3 is located over and secured to a tubular member 2 such that a helical pocket 4 is provided between the members and within which is accommodated a wire helix 1, the cross-sectional area of the pocket being greater than that of the wire thereby allowing movement of the helix relative to the members. The members may be of canvas coated or impregnated, or both, with an artificial rubber composition, e.g. " Hycar "  (Registered Trade Mark), and comprising copolymers of butadiene and acrylonitrile or polyvinyl chloride. In forming the tube a layer 2 of material is applied over a wire helix 8 on a mandrel 7, the material comprising a single length lapped around the mandrel with a small overlap, or a helically wound strip. The wire helix 1 is wound over the layer 2, the turns of the helix lying close to and between those of the helix 8, and then the layer 3 is wound or lapped over the helix 1. Finally, a wire helix 9 is wound over the layer 3, the turns of that helix laying between the turns of the helices 1 and 8 and close to the turns of the helix 1 so that the layer 3 adopts a corrugated shape. The layers 2, 3 are nipped together over a narrow path 10 so that when the tube is cured by the application of heat and pressure the layers firmly adhere together. The helix 9 may be unwound and the tube withdrawn from the mandrel, and the helix 8 withdrawn from the tube, although both helices may be retained. Instead of using the helix 8, the mandrel may be formed with a helical groove, the layer 2 being pressed in that groove by the helix 1.
