SELECTING (switches, relays Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...H01H)

|  | H04Q |
Note(s) This sub-class deals with methods, circuits, or apparatus for establishing selectively a connection between a desired number of stations (normally two), or between a main station and a desired number of substations (normally one) for the purpose of transferring information via this connection after it has been established. The sub-class also deals with selective calling arrangements over connections already established. In either case, the connection may be by means of electric conductors and/or electromagnetic waves. In this sub-class: "Subscriber" is a general term for terminal equipment, e.g. telephone for public use. "Substation" means a subscriber or monitoring equipment which may connect a single subscriber to a line without choice as to subscriber. A "satellite" is a kind of exchange the operation of which depends upon control signals received from a supervisory exchange. "Switching centres" include exchanges and satellites.
