Priority<br />

The switchboard is designed for secret calls. Extension no. 2, however,<br />

has a right-<strong>of</strong>-way facility permitting entry to an engaged line. The connection<br />

is set up, after receipt <strong>of</strong> busy tone, by the priority extension dialling<br />

digit 2, which interconnects the two link circuits. The two conversing parties<br />

are warned by a faint tone that a priority extension is on the line. The latter<br />

may either request the wanted party to ring back after his conversation is<br />

completed or may ask both parties to replace their handsets. In such case the<br />

dialled number is automatically rung in the normal manner, and when the party<br />

replies an undisturbed conversation can take place.<br />

Extension number 2 should be allotted to the person who most needs to<br />

obtain quick contact with other users <strong>of</strong> the system.<br />

Summary<br />

AMD 20101, with 15 extensions and 2 link circuits,<br />

1. takes up little space<br />

2. operates silently<br />

3. is thoroughly reliable<br />

4. requires no routine maintenance<br />

5. can be connected to all normal mains voltages and frequencies<br />

6. permits secret calls<br />

7. has priority for one extension<br />

8. uses the two link circuits alternately, so ensuring more even utilization<br />

<strong>of</strong> the equipment<br />

9. has forced release <strong>of</strong> the register, so that a short-circuited extension<br />

line does not block the switchboard.
