Summary[edit]
DescriptionNIE 1905 Telephone - simple switchboard circuit.jpg |
English: Diagram of simple metallic circuit switchboard: When a call is received the current coming in on the line wires causes the drop to fall, thus announcing the number of the subscriber. The central operator then inserts the answering plug in the jack, and, pressing the listening key, puts her instrument in circuit. She then inserts the calling plug in the jack belonging to the line of the desired subscriber, and by pressing the ringing key sends a signal to the latter's instrument. |
