from Line switch SC banks 1 and 2 at contact 40, causing Line switch SC to stop on<br />

this contact and leaving the line battery connected to line. A special time signal unit<br />

would be provided to operate Relay SR direct, and this would cause the selectors to<br />

be stepped to and past the special time signal ringing contact to give the required<br />

code. When the Controller releases the Time Sending key, Relay GCA at GCA1 reconnects<br />

positive to Line switch SCI/2 bank contact 40, restoring the drive circuit of<br />

Line switch SC which drives to normal. Relay TS is also released by the restoration<br />

of the Time Sending key, and at TS2 removes the positive connection from Line<br />

Switch SC6 bank contacts 40,42, 44. When Line switch SC drives over these bank<br />

contacts, Relay IS is alternately operated and released via SC bank contacts 41-45<br />

sending 6 reverse impulses to line via Relay SR contacts. These 6 impulses step the<br />

selectors clear of the time holding bar and all selectors return to normal.<br />

Special Adjustments<br />

(a) Line switch SC driving speed should be adjusted so that three complete<br />

revolutions of the wipers take approximately 20 seconds. To increase the speed,<br />

rheostat YJ should be turned in a clockwise direction, and to decrease the speed, turn<br />

in a counter-clockwise direction.<br />

(b) It is essential that the line battery positive and negative impulses sent to line<br />

should be of equal duration. The facility to test this is incorporated in the line testing<br />

set. If it is necessary to adjust this impulse duration, rheostat YH should be adjusted.<br />

To increase the time Relay SR is on its back contacts, the rheostat YH adjusting screw<br />

should be turned in a clockwise direction.<br />

Line Battery <strong>Circuit</strong> Breaker Indication and Reset Cabinet<br />

The circuit breaker Relay CB is operated via its 2,000 ohm winding when the<br />

non-locking key CBK in one or other of the cabinets is operated, and provided switch<br />

SC is in the home position. The Relay CB mechanically latches in the operated<br />

position and releases if the current in the CB Relay 2 ohm winding exceeds 500<br />

milliamps. CBI released lights the circuit breaker ‘out’ indicator lamps in the cabinet.<br />

A spark quencher circuit is provided across CB contacts 3 and 2 via resistor YK and<br />

capacitor QJ.<br />

Engaged Lamp<br />

A lamp, LP, is provided on each selective circuit apparatus panel to indicate<br />

when the apparatus is engaged. If the selective apparatus is unjacked and removed,<br />

Jack contacts 5 and 7 make together and light all engaged lamps on the Switch Sets via<br />

BNX, Jack points 5 and 7 to BBX. Contacts G1 and LC1 keep the lamp alight after<br />

the circuit key is restored to normal whilst the switches, etc., are returning to their<br />

normal position.<br />
