No. 27806.—31st May, 1910.—ERNEST GRAHAM GODFREE, of Service Street, Hampton, near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Clerk. Electro-mechanical selector.

Extract from Specification.—The transmitting part of the instrument is mechanically interlocked with the receiving instrument in such a manner as to prevent any interruption whilst the line is engaged. The transmitter consists, preferably, of a clockwork or other motive mechanism so constructed that when released it operates suitable electrical contacts, which in turn send electrical impulses through the circuit. The number of impulses sent depends on the insertion of a suitable plug or stop in any one of a number of holes provided for the purpose around the circumference of a dial. The receiving part of the instrument comprises an electromagnet and armature arranged to operate certain electrical contact-making devices, a ratchet-wheel having one shallow tooth, a rubbing spring-contact, a detent retaining-pawl, and a swinging or fly contact, a local circuit consisting of the contact on the pawl of the armature, the spring-contact, a battery, and a bell.
