Relay IS operated Relay SR at IS1 and the line battery is reversed at SRI, SR2,<br />
SR3 and SR4 contacts, giving one impulse to line for each reversal. In the case under<br />
notice, line switch SA at wipers SA 3 and 4 is registering the 5 impulses (tens digit)<br />
dialled, and as line switch SC5 passes its bank contact 5, Relay IS operates and sends<br />
one impulse to line via Relay BR contacts. On SC bank contact 6, there is no 50 volt<br />
positive, so that IS releases giving a second (reverse) pulse to line, SC bank contact 7<br />
is connected to 50 volt positive and Relay IS operates, giving a third impulse to line;<br />
SC bank contact 8 is disconnected and Relay IS releases, giving a fourth impulse to<br />
line ; SC bank contact 9 is connected to 50 volt positive and Relay IS operates, giving<br />
a fifth impulse to line. Now comes an inter-digital pause consisting of four steps of<br />
line switch SC, (contacts 10, 11, 12 and 13) which are connected to 50 volt positive<br />
as follows :<br />
SC bank contact 10 through wiper SA4, SC bank contact 11 direct, SC bank<br />
contact 12 through wiper SA3, and SC bank contact 13 direct. During this interdigital<br />
pause, Relay IS is held operated and no impulses are passed to line. When line<br />
switch SC moves to SC bank contact 14, Relay IS is again released since there is no<br />
positive battery connected to this contact, and the second train of impulses start to<br />
be sent out since Relay IS releases Relay SR. SC bank contact 15 is connected to<br />
positive, Relay IS operates, and through SR the second impulse is transmitted. SC<br />
bank contact 16 is disconnected and Relay IS releases transmitting the third impulse<br />
to line. SC bank contact 17 is connected to positive and IS operates, giving the fourth<br />
impulse to line; and so on until when SC bank contact 22 is reached, a second train of<br />
9 impulses will have been sent to line. On this contact Relay IS is released, and on SC<br />
bank contact 23 positive battery is applied through SB3 wiper on SB contact 4. This<br />
positive through SC wipers 7/8, short circuits Relay IS, which therefore remains<br />
released, starting the second interdigital pause. As SC bank contact 24 is disconnected,<br />
Relay IS remains released. On SC bank contact 25, Relay IS is again short<br />
circuited, wipers SC5 and 6 being direct to positive and wipers SC7 and 8 to positive,<br />
through line switch SB wiper 4. Bank contact SC26 is disconnected, but on SC bank<br />
contact 27, Relay IS is again operated due to this contact being connected to positive,<br />
and the first of the third train of three (units) impulses is sent to line through Relay<br />
SR, again operating and reversing the line battery. SC bank contact 28 is disconnected,<br />
Relay IS is released and the second impulse transmitted to line. SC bank contact 29 is<br />
connected to positive, and Relay IS again operates, sending the third impulse to line.<br />
At this point it should be remembered that all codes sent to line total 17<br />
impulses. In the case being considered, the first train of impulses was five, the<br />
second, nine, and the last, three. The bell at the station with its Selector set to the code<br />
5-9-3, is now ringing, the selector being held mechanically in the ringing position. The<br />
bell continues to ring until line switch SC steps on to SC bank contact 46 which, being<br />
disconnected, allows Relay IS to release, sending one final reverse impulse to line.<br />
This impulse advances the selector one step so that it is no longer held mechanically,<br />
thus allowing the selector code wheel to return to its normal position. It can be noted
