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
