Electrical voting system for Finnish parliament A new electrical voting system was put into operation at the start of the autumn session of the Finnish parliament. Oy L M Ericsson Ab, L M Ericsson's Finnish subsidiary, undertook the installation and certain deliveries of equipment, while L M Ericsson Telemateriel AB. Stockholm, planned the installation and delivered the main part of the equipment. The voting system comprises the following units among others: In the plenary chamber there are 200 control panels, one for each member of parliament. The members can correct their vote if they have pressed the wrong button by mistake. The member's panel also contains a microphone, a loudspeaker for listening to speeches in the chamber, and signal lamps which indicate the maximum speaking time and "important message from the telephone operator". Recessed in the Speaker's desk is a control panel with pushbuttons for supervision of voting, a panel which shows the result of voting, and the necessary microphones and loudspeakers. The control panel also contains pushbuttons which enable the speaker to prevent sound distribution from the chamber or to limit it to the actual parliamentary building. By connecting a separate microphone the speaker can switch on all loudspeakers of the voting system so that important messages are heard in all official rooms in the building. The central equipment of the voting system, which is placed on the lower floors of the parliamentary building, counts the votes. The result of voting is shown on the result panel in the chamber and on a record panel which is automatically photographed by two cameras. The photograph shows the member's vote, the result of the vote, the number of the vote, the date etc. The record panel also contains a TV monitor for supplementary and explanatory particulars concerning the voting. A typewriter keyset for the latter particulars is recessed in the stenographers' desks. The work of the stenographers is faciliated by a new tape recorder arrangement. Two of the tape recorders are in operation simultaneously — containing tapes for 7.5 minutes and 1.5 hours recording respectively. The tape recording is operated from the upper gallery by the parliamentary commissionaire, who also has a control desk for switching on the members' microphones according to the Speaker's directions. He also has a mixer desk which automatically sets the correct sound level at the start of each speech. The needs of the public in the gallery have also been taken into account through the provision of a large number of loudspeakers for increase of audibility. The press positions have sockets for tape recorders so that speeches by members can be directly recorded in the press gallery. The parliamentary sound distribution system is also connected to broadcasting equipment. The chamber of the Finnish parliament viewed from the Speakers control panel (right). First delivery of picture telephones from L M Ericsson The first delivery of L M Ericsson's picture telephone system has now been made. Fifteen picture telephones and a video PAX have been delivered to the Spanish Telecommunications Administration CTNE, which intends to use them for field trials. Field trials are already well under way in Sweden in cooperation between L M Ericsson and the Telecommunications Administration, and also within some of the Ericsson offices and laboratories in Stockholm. Some 18(1 persons are taking part in the internal field test. One of Ihe design departments participating in L M Ericsson's field test with the picture telephone system at the main plant in Stockholm has been visited by Mr J. J. Horzepa (left) from AT & T (American Telephone & Telegraph) and MrW. B. Cagle, Bell Laboratories. During the autumn these two gentlemen made a round trip to some European telecommunications administrations to hear about their experience with videotelephone News from Rifa • A monolithic microcircuit which, without external components, can work with the existing battery voltages in telephony systems has been developed by AB Rifa, the components enterprise of the Ericsson Group. • In the capacitor field Rifa have developed a new type of highly stable styrene capacitors for carrier frequency filters and a resin-embedded tantalum capacitor designed especially with a view to mounting with integrated circuits. The new capacitors permit a saving of space of about 70 "c compared with the present types with corresponding function. For some years AB Rifa has been the largest Scandinavian manufacturer of electronic components. The company employs more than 1,700 persons in Sweden and has an annual turnover of 125 Mkr. Rifa components are made also in Australia, France and Mexico. 152 ERICSSON REVIEW No. 4, 1973
