The Sc. 600 Switchboard.

The front of the switchboard is divided
into six compartments, of which these in
the upper two corners are used to hold an
nunciator drops, showing the exact line
which is working, either from telegraph
service or an alarm running IN. The center
compartment in the top row has indicators
which show what companies are in service
AT any fire.
TESTING APPARATUS.
The two lower corner divisions are occu-
pied by switching and testing apparatus,
testing on either side 40 metallic signal cir
cults and ten metallic alarm circuits. All
the switches are furnished with switch
straps for test purposes, consisting of split
German silver springs, to assure ease of
movement and perfect contact.
The center compartment in the lower row
contains 40 upright or Breguet galvanome-
tiers, 50 constructed that if the lines are in
their normal condition the needle shall be
vertical. Any deviation to the right or left
indicates some defect or irregularitv in the
working of the line. There are eight rows
of these galvanometers, five in each row, in
eaSed in a front of very heavy French plate
gl6ss. The advantage to be derived from
this new arrangement is that the operator,
while testing, has the whole details in front
of him without the trouble and loss of time

Of the top part Of the board will contain
large upright standard Breguet galvanome-
ter to show the condition of the alarm cir
cult, which is done with large and COM
plex index dial. The board is also to be
furnished with a theostat and bridge for
finer character of testing, and requiring
more particular investigation such as the
testing of insulation. The whole apparatus
is arranged SO that from / to 100 cells can be
switched on if desired. All the mounting
and connecting of the whole apparatus is to
be done without any interference with the
telegraph service, or the fire alarm work of
the city. The rear or the back of the frame
is to be completely inclosed with four pairs
of panel doors hung with brass hinges on
suitable separating strips and furnished
with brass locks, hooks and brass KEYS, any
use Of iron in any shape being forbidden in
the construction OF the apparatus.
