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.
