Where the block wires are operated as individual units with their
own instruments, it is unnecessary to have any auxiliary apparatus
to be used in connection with them. Where, however, they are
operated as part of a system and the same telephone is used on
these that is used on the train wire and message wire, additional
apparatus, called a blocking set, is required. This blocking set,
shown in Figs. 498 and 499, was developed especially for this
service by the Western Electric Company. As will be noted, a
repeating coil at the top and a key on the front of the set are wired
in connection with a pair of train wire cords. This repeating coil is for
use in connecting a grounded circuit to a metallic circuit, as, for
instance, connecting a block wire to the train wire, and is, of course,
for the purpose of eliminating noise. Below the key are three
combined jacks and signals. One block wire comes into each of
these and a private line may be brought into the middle one. When
the next block rings up, a visual signal is displayed which operates a
bell in the office by means of a local circuit. The operator answers by
plugging the telephone cord extending from the bottom of the set
into the proper jack. This automatically restores the signal and stops
the bell.
Below these signals appear four jacks. One is wired across the
train wire; one across the message wire; and the other two are
bridged across the two pairs of patching cords on each side of the
set. The operator answers a call on any circuit by plugging his
telephone cord into the proper jack.
In some cases not only are the telephone circuits brought into the
test board, but also two telegraph wires are looped through this
board before going to the peg switchboard. This is becoming quite a
frequent practice and, in times of great emergency, enables patches
to be made to the telegraph wires as well as to the telephone wires.
