A Complete Telephone Equip1nent
and
Supply Service
Automatic Electric Company has been designing and manufacturing telephones and
telephone equipment for almost fifty years. Their success in this field has been so out5Lancling that they have long been recognized as th e largest single manufacturer Lo the
Independent trade.
It has been a long standing practice for telephone companies to look to us, as
general distributors for the Automatic company, nol only for equipment and telephones,
but also for the hund reds of supplementar y items that are needed for the <.:onstruction,
mai ntenance and operation of telephone proper ties. As a result w e have been able to
build up a service second to noue in th e field. Today we are in a position to supply any
telephone company with everything they may need .in the way of material or appa ratus
for ce ntral office, sub-station or outside plant.
A constantly increasing number of telep hone companies are corning to rely on our
organization for their telephone needs because we have made it our business lo find oul
just what things telephone companies like in a supply service.
Here are some of the "extra" features we offer:
Trained Personnel-The men who handle our supply orders are all experienced
telephone men, and are thoroughly familiar with the latest products and p ractices.
lridivUlual Service--It would be very easy for us to take your supply orders and
·"throw them in the hopper" of a n or dinary order routine; hut that is not our way.
Every order we receive is intelligently analyzed by people who are trained to the customer's viewpoint. Where we can save the customer money by suggesting more economic
quantities or an improved p roduct, even at the sacrifice of some p rofit on th at order,
we do so, knowing that if we please our customers, they will continue to come to us
for t11eir needs.
Speed- -Our facilities for handling supply orders are based on l:he assumption tliat
all material ordered i s needed at once. Our standard delivery service is as fast as i t is
possible to make it, consistent with minimum expense to the cu stomer. But very often
we get orders where speed must take precedence over every other consideration. And
we have never failed ·to d el iver on t ime.

use and in our own l abor atory. Everything we sell bears a double guarantee of satis·
faction--·-from ourselves and from the manufacturers.

Automatic Electric Telephones
Hundreds of telephone operating organizationssmall rural companies as well as large city systems
-have standardized on Automatic Electric telephones.
And here's why-
Automatic Electric Telephones "Talk up"Through many years of study in our laboratories, we
have developed transmitters which make speech sound
natural without sacrificing loudness. And Lhe unique
Automatic Electric "anti-sidetone" circuit gets the
most out of these transmitters. This circuit uses a
special three-winding induction coil which boosts the
transmitted current, and at the same time practically
cuts out all outside noises.
Automatic Electric Telephones Ring Through
on any line. In addition to the 3-bar generator (for
light-loaded lines) and the standard 5-har generator
(for Jines with medium or heavy loading), we have
developed a heavy-duty 5-har type, using a new magnetic material, for use on the longest and most heavily
loaded lines. Automatic Electric telephones are available with ringers of 1000, 1600, and 2500 ohms, for
use respectively on lines with light, medium, and heavy
loading. Telephones intended to replace existing
instruments should usually be ordered with ringers of
the same resistance as those replaced. Telephones for
new stations, which will increase the load on a line,
may have lo have ringers of higher resistance.
Automatic Electric Telephones Are Durable-:.They are sturdily built, for long life, and require a
minimum of maintenance attention.
Automatic Electric Offers the Monophone,
the first and still the finest handset-type telephone.
Ever since its introduction, 'way back in 1925, the
Monophone has set the style for the modern handsetl ype telephone, which is gradually replacing the older
type of instruments nearly everywhere. Today's
Monophone contains a new "all-positions" transmitter,
which gives practically unvarying transmission volume,
no matter in what position it is held. Thus. the user
o-f a Mm1ophone can stand up or sit down, lean back
or even lie down, without affecting transmission.
The convenience of the Monophone handset also
has been increased hy the dev~lopment of the Extensicord, a new handset cord that actually s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s.
This cord is normally very short, and keeps out of the
way when the telephone is not in use. But when the
hand unit is lifted, it stretches to almost twice its normal length, so that the telephone user may stand, sit
down, or move about with exceptional freedom. (The
Extensicord is illustrated and fully described on page
29. It can be furnished on any Monophone, at a slight
increase in cost.)
Special Equipment
The standard instruments shown in this catalog have
been selected because they have been found to meet
almost all requirements in the simplest and most inexpensive manner. For special conditions, these telephones can be provided with various special equipments. Among them:
"Battery Savers"-to permit telephone users to
listen in on a line without unnecessarily running down
their transmitter battery. In some cases, the battery
saver is a special latch on the hookswitch, which. per·
mils the hookswitch to rise far enough to close the
receiver circuit when the receiver is lifted, but not to
close the transmitter circuit. The latch can he quickly
opened if the telephone user wishes lo speak. Or, the
battery saver may he simply a pushbutton through
which the telephone user cuts in the transmitter bat·
tery whenever iL is desired to speak (or the pushhut·
ton may he arranged to cut out the battery, in which
case the button must he pressed wheuever it is desired
to listen in on the line without speaking. "Cut out"
Lype bulton is furnished only on special order).
Code-Ringing Pushbutton-to enable the telephone user lo form ringing codes while continuously
operating the magneto generator.
Semi-Selective Ringing Pushbutton-used on
metallic lines with grounded ringers, to connect the
grounded magneto to one or the other side of the line,
thus ringing only the hells on lhal side.
Secret-Calling Pushbutton-used on metallic
lines with bridged ringers, permits the telephone user
to signal !he operator without signalling any of the
other stations on his line. The switchboard drop is
connected to ground and one side of the line, and the
magneto, normally bridged across the line, is connected to ground when the pushbutton is pressed.
Condenser in Receiver Circuit---makes it pos·
sible to operate the ringers on a line, even though a
number of receivers may be off their hooks. The condenser in series with the receiver at each telephone
prevents Lhe ringing current from passing through the'
receiver, so it is forced to operate the ringers.
Condenser in Ringer Circuit-used to permit
tesling out on the line from the exchange, using direct
current. The condenser in series with each ringer p_revents the testing current from passing through the
ringer from one side of the line to the other (or to
ground).

The handset-type wall telephone overcome~ an important
objection to wall telt>phones of the conventional type. Tt may
be mounted at any height, and still presents the transmiucr
mouthpiece in the best position for use, whether the user is
sealed or standing. This, together with tbe anti - ~idetone circuit
used, and the "all-po~itions" transmitter in the Monophone hand
