TH-1/TCC-1

Telegraph terminal

"Speech-Plus Duplex" (D + DX) equipment.  Derives one carrier telegraph circuit from a telephone circuit while retaining the voice circuit. Separation of speech and telegraph by hand elimination filters which block out about 1500 to 2000 cycles for telegraph use. Frequency band passed by filters centered at 1680 cycles for one direction of transmission and 1860 cycles for the other direction. DC loops are neutral, half and full-duplex, polarential or two-path polar. Ringing may be voice frequency, 20 cycles or DC.
