This cable \ from the intersection of 50th St. and Puritan Road was / fy? installed when service was requested by DIEZ for his new Pry home, which is located at the end of this cable. The cabte bl Ue was installed in order to provide spare pairs to the subject's ia iv) home for possible use of the FBI. The installation is a com- } pletely normal installation inasmuch as this area is an open field and it would seem logical that more construction would occur in the area. Old wiring to the EARL JIEZ residence and the residence of FRANK A. NZALES was replaced by this new construction and they are Served from this same cable. EARL DIEZ is a brother of JOE DIEZ, and FRANK A, GONZALES is married to their sister CONCHITA. The entire open field is owned by members of this family. A plant site has not been selected. A residential area exists in the general area of 50th Street and Puritan Road. Some houses have been available in this area and it is contemplated that any plant site would be located in this general area provided the installation could not be covered from the office of the FBI. mmnangmen coov OYEMD FX s/o Na, A measurement of the resistance needed to bring up BS he dial tone on the party line. which was to be assigned to the subscriber was made at the intersection of 50th Street and 2 Bureau (RM) cnegas\ “1 Tampa Pate .

Puritan Road, shown on the cable diagram. The outlet box was located on a telephone pole at this location. The print of the connector circuit entitled "CONNECTOR CIRCUIT local & toll - 2 digit - terminal per station - controlled ring" is the print of connections in the company which would be associated with the subscriber's telephone. Regarding tests previously made to determine resistance which would bring up dial tone, these tests were made on a party line. The telephone company was able to upgrade the subscriber's service and he was placed ona private line as a result of the new cable installation. Instead of the USC type 80 telephone, a white Starlite telephone with extension bell was installed for the subscriber. The bell rings on a frequency of 30 cycles at 130 volts. An emergency power failure generator would furnish 120 voits . ro, at 30 cycles to this telephone. be This change to private line service would make necessary a recheck of the resistance needed to bring up dial tone. It is noted, however, that the new SPMT] ty device) (U.. which can be installed in the subscriber' s hom recently developed by the FBI Laboratory, would make further resistance + measurements unnecessary. It is believed that installation of this device in the subscriber's home other than in the telephone will be more practical in view of the limited space available in the Starlite telephone and because the subscriber has several telephone outlets in his home where connecting wire would be available. : Tests to determine the effect of connecting a 3,000-ohm resistor across the subscriber's line were made on both party - ” | lines using the HSC type 80 telephone and the Starlite telephone with extension bell. The test on the HSC type 80 telephone _ revealed that the 3,000-ohm resistor made a very noticeable = change in the ringing sound of the telephone. The ring sounded muffled. It made no noticeable change in the level of the talk , or listen current at the subscriber telephone or at the calling . party telephone. The same test on an installation where the | Starlite telephone and extension bell were used made no notice- able difference in the ringing or in talk or listen conditions. 7 It is felt that the new eee would be ideal for use with Cy ' the HSC type 80 or the Starlite telephone as compared to the (SPuT Jpreviously available.

Ringing frequency is 30 cycles. The talk voltage is 48 volts with the operating current, dependent upon resistance in the circuit. It was. calculated that the current at the subscriber's line would be about 54 ma depending upon the position of the carbon ~ granules in the microphone. Actual operating current for the subscriber's line was not available, but measurements made on a Similar line under actual conditions revealed a 40 ma current when the handset was removed from the hangup position, The two HSC type 80 telephones previously submitted to the Bureau’ should not be altered and should be returned to «+ the Tampa Division for return to the telephone company after + the FBI Laboratory has examined the telephones and made tests for possible (RFMT[use as was previously requested. / (UW) ‘The telephone number assigned to the subscriber is WE 8-1209, working out of a substation in Temple Terrace, Florida.
