the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 16th March 1882.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN TELEPHONES
"
My said Invention has for its object to so construct and combine the receiving
transmitting and magnetic signalling parts of telephonic apparatus together that
the instrument so combined is more convenient in use than has hitherto been the
case and so also that the cost and inconvenience of combining these parts after the
instruments are sent out of the factory are avoided.
According to my said Invention the receiving part of the apparatus is carried
upon or by a back plate up through which are passed the connecting wires from
the battery to the transmitting part of the apparatus which is carried above the
receiving part the orifice of the transmitting disc being upon a plane inclined at an
angle preferably of about 45 degrees to the vertical plane. The magnetic signalling
apparatus is also carried by or from the said back plate. At the right hand side
of the transmitting part is carried a desk below which is situated the crank of the
signal bell. On the opposite side is the receiving disc carrying instrument in
convenient position to be held by the left hand. The instrument thus constructed
and combined constitutes a transmitting receiving and signalling apparatus in one
with the parts all situated in the positions most convenient for their manipulation
doing away with the necessity for connecting up the transmitting part of the
apparatus with the battery at the place where the instrument is fitted up and the
expense and inconvenience consequent thereon.

My said Invention has for its object to so construct and combine the receiving
transmitting and magnetic signalling parts of telephonic apparatus together, that
the instrument so combined is more convenient in use than has hitherto been the
case and so also that the cost and inconvenience of combining or connecting these
parts after the instruments are sent out of the factory are avoided.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing is an elevation and Figure 2 is a
perspective view of an instrument constructed or combined according to my
Invention. In Figure 2 the doors a d² are shewn closed whilst in Figure 1 the
said doors are sbewn open to exhibit the interior.
The receiving and signalling parts A of the apparatus are carried upon or by a
back board B through or along which are passed the connecting wires from the
battery or magnetic generator C to the transmitting part D of the apparatus
which is carried above the part A. The orifice d of the transmitting disc is carried
by the door d² which is inclined forming a plane at an angle preferably of about
45 degrees to the vertical. The magnetic signalling bell E is carried by or from
the bottom of the box attached to the said back board. At the right hand side of
the instrument is carried a desk F below which is situated the crank e of the
magnetic generator. On the opposite side is the Automatic switch hook carrying
the instrument g in convenient position to be held by the left hand. The
connections of the wires to the various parts may be fastened to the woodwork of
the back board and casing and their circuits and connections may be of the
ordinary kind.
The instrument constructed and combined as hereinbefore described and illustrated
"
I prefer to call "The Consolidated Telephone as it constitutes a transmitting
receiving and signalling apparatus in one with the parts arranged so that their
mutual connections may be readily made in the factory doing away with the
necessity for connecting up the connections with the battery or electrical generator
at the place where the instrument is fitted up and the expense and inconvenience
consequent thereon. The said parts are moreover in the relative positions most
convenient for their manipulation.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of the said
Invention and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into
effect I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original
and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part
recited Letters Patent is :-
The improved combined telephonic instrument herein before described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In witness whereof I the said Allan Westley Rose have to this my
Specification set my hand and seal this thirteenth day of September
One thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
