Going Dial?
The return that a telephone company earns
on its investment depends on the service it offers. Modern subscribers demand the best-and
under today's conditions that means "going dial. "
Not only does automatic equipment provide
better service, but it begins to pay for itself as
soon as it is installed. It assures reduced operating and maintenance costs. Result: added income and additional revenue for expansion and
improvements.
In the light of today's booming demand for
extra telephone serv ices of all kinds, requirements for future growth also must be anticipated.
Strowger Automatic equipment gives you every
modern feature, yet the simple circuits and unitized construction allow you maxim um freedom
to expand-easily and economically.

Transistorized
Voice Frequency Repeaters
For Low Cost,
Toll Quality Transmission
Automatic's Type AT-2 and AT-3 Repeaters
provide all the benefits of the negative-impedance
principle plus all the advantages of transistorized
circu its. They reduce outside-plant cost by allowing you to engineer for smaller gauge cable or
wire. In combination, these repeaters overcome
up to 85 % of line loss, provide up to 14 dB gain.
"Series-type" A T-2 provides possible gain up
to l OdB on non-loaded cable Jines. On loaded
cable lines it is combined with "shunt-type" AT-3,
to provide maximum gain of 14 dB at mid-point
of line, 12 dB when unit is used as a terminal
repeater. Type AT-3 is also used with AT-2 on
circuits where excessive impedance discontinuity
causes high "echo" or where AT-2 alone would
cause other " hybrid coil" -equipped circuits and
carrier channels to "sing."
These repeaters can be used also on open-wire
circuits, including side circuits of phantom and
composite groups . Applications to circuits with
