For mounting the selective circuits<br />

apparatus.<br />

Usually two per Control, one in the<br />

Apparatus Room and one in the<br />

Control Office.<br />

One or more, depending on the<br />

number of additional circuits, such<br />

as Junction, Omnibus circuits, etc.,<br />

required.<br />

Usually one per System. Intermediate<br />

Distribution Frame Supplied<br />

if required.<br />

* This may be combined with the Selective <strong>Circuit</strong> Rack on small installations.<br />

Battery Supplies. 50-volt D.C. for operating the relays at the Control.<br />

The Busy lamps (P.O. Switchboard type) are usually illuminated from an A.C.<br />

source, since the load on a battery might, at certain periods, be a heavy one. In the<br />

event of a mains failure, the system can still be operated without the busy lamp<br />

indications. It is recommended that the call lamps be operated from a battery, since<br />

the load is not as heavy as that of the busy lamps.<br />

As they cannot easily be dispensed with it is preferable to have a constant<br />

source of supply, independent of the local mains. In some cases, 6 volt switchboard<br />

lamps have been used for both call and busy positions, thus giving a lower power<br />

consumption.<br />

Line Signalling Supply . . . . This voltage to be in accordance with<br />

the curves on pages 51 or 52, derived<br />

from A.C. mains rectifier, storage<br />

battery and charger or primary<br />

cell battery, as required.
