normal, Relay IR is held operated and Relay DC (held over its 3 ohm winding)<br />

releases, as it will not hold in series with Relay G.<br />

When the Controller restores his dial key, Relay IR releases and completes a<br />

circuit for the operation of Relay LC via 50 volt negative, Relay LC e-a winding, IR2,<br />

DC3, bank contact of line switch SB2, G2, GC3, TS2 to 50 volt positive. Relay G<br />

releases after the opening of IR1 the short circuit delaying its release sufficiently to<br />

permit the operation of Relay LC as described above. When G2 opens, Relay DS<br />

releases, but Relay LC remains operated over LC5, line switch SC banks 3 and 4<br />

wiper arms to 50 volt positive. Relay BR operates at LC 4 and connects the impulsing<br />

battery to the line as follows :<br />

Line Battery negative, resistor YN and YM, CB3, CB2 circuit breaker (CB) trip<br />

coil 2 ohm winding, SR3, smoothing chokes A and B, BR2 to Line 2. Line battery<br />

positive, SRI, smoothing chokes A and B, BR4, to Line 1. Relay SD operates via 50<br />

volt negative Relay SD, line switch SC drive contacts, line switch SC wiper arms 1<br />

and 2, LC2, to 50 volt positive. Relay SD completes the driving circuit for line switch<br />

SC at SDI, via line switch SC wiper arms 1 and 2, and LC2. Line switch SC drive<br />

contacts open the circuit for Relay SD, when the magnet is fully energised. Relay SD<br />

releases, and at SD opens the driving magnet circuit of line switch SC, and the switch<br />

takes one step when the magnet releases. The drive contacts SC, remake contact<br />

when SC magnet releases, and Relay SD again operates via SC wiper arm and bank<br />

contacts 1 and 2 to 50 volt positive.<br />

This cycle of operations between Relay SD and the driving magnet of line<br />

switch SC, will continue until Relay LC has released and wiper SCI is stepped round<br />

until it reaches its normal (home) contact.<br />

Relay SD is in parallel with a rheostat and by adjusting this rheostat, the release<br />

time of Relay SD can be varied until line switch SC steps at the correct speed. As the<br />

wipers of line switch SC step round, there is a short preparatory period until SC<br />

wipers 5/6 reach SC bank contacts 5, when Relay IS will be operated via 50 volt<br />

negative, resistor YF. Relay IS winding, SC wipers 5/6, SC bank contacts 5, to 50 volt<br />

positive. Ignoring, for the moment, any 50 volt positive connections applied to the<br />

bank contacts of line switch SC by banks 3 and 4 of line switches SA and SB, it will<br />

be seen that on each alternate step of line switch SC, Relay IS will be operated until<br />

it has completed 25 operations and line switch SC reaches its home position.<br />
