TRUNKING, ITS PHYSICAL ARRANGEMENTS AND VARIATIONS 149 The expansion of a system does not depend upon its original design, andit may grow as rapidly or as gradually as may be desired. A thousand-line exchange (Fig. 144) has originally not over ten groupsof 100 lines each.

Attach the connectors to the same level 900 Connectors 800 700. Fig. 144.—Thousand lines being expanded. on the second selectors that they formerly occupied on the first new numbers for these subscribers will be the old numbers with thefirst digit doubled. Thus, 245 will become 2245, etc. The remaininglevels of the newly installed second selectors are now available for open-ing new hundreds, so that the capacity is now 1900 lines instead of 1000lines.
