. The telephone system of the British post office. A practical handbook . gs are curved inwards in such a manner that when the key isdepressed the triangular-shaped piece of ebonite which is attached to therod of the key pushes them outwards, where they come into contact withthe outer or generator springs. The long inner springs are connedted tothe tip and shoulder of the red peg respectively. The studs are connectedto the corresponding studs of the black ringing key, whose inner springsare connected to the tip and shoulder of the black peg. The outer springsof the black peg are connected to the ringing battery. 8o Connection of Ringing Keys. The connections of a pair of cords and ringing keys are shown inFigure 68. Depression of the black key connects the battery springs tothe peg springs; thus the negative pole of the battery is connected to thatip of the peg which comes into contact with the A line. The positive isconnected to the B line ; thus it will be seen that the ringing battery isjoined in series with the distant main permanent current.

The general form of the key consists of six springs andfour studs; in fact, is very similar to two ringing keys placed side by side,but operated by one lever. The triangular piece of ebonit
