Dial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nowadays the dial is a key pad, generally with 12 keys numbered 0-9, *, and # that perform an equivalent signalling function to that of a rotating disk dial. The first telephone dial patent was jointly issued to Connolly and McTighe in 1879. Dials in other countries than the United States usually did not bear alphabetic characters and an inidication of the word "operator" in addition to numbers, as the system of the use of characters which were inidicating telephone exchanges and formed a part of the telephone number (cf. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dial   (758 words)

Dial The dial numbering can occur in 4 different formats, with 0 either being placed next to the 1 or the 9 and the numbers running in ascending or decending order with either the 0,1 or 9 being closest to the fingerstop. Generally dial numbering was standardised on a countrywide basis, though all 4 dial formats were used. Researchers rearranged the dial numbers in a wide range of combinations from mimicing a telephone dial to the now familiar 4 row by 3 column keypad. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/di/Dialed.html   (670 words)

Rotary dial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The rotary dial is a device mounted on or in a telephone or switchboard that is designed to send interrupted electrical pulses, known as pulse dialing, corresponding to the number dialed. For this reason, the numbers on the dial are shifted in different countries, or even in different areas of one country, to work with their system because of the difference of the number arrangement on the dial. In the U.S., rotary dial phones were sometimes equipped with apparatus blanks—a piece of plastic or metal blocking the opening in the telephone's housing–in place of having a dial. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rotary_dial   (697 words)

telephones and phone dial history Pulse dialing is traditionally accomplished with a rotary dial, which is a speed governed wheel with a cam that opens and closes a switch in series with your phone and the line. Because pulse dialing entails rapid connection and disconnection of the phone line, you can "dial" a telephone that has lost its dial, by hitting the hook-switch rapidly. Pulse dialing is to touch-tone as FSK or AFSK RTTY is to Switched Carrier RTTY, where mark and space are sent by the presence or absence of DC or unmodulated RF carrier. www.affordablephones.net /phonewarehouse/thedial.htm   (1224 words)

The Invention and Development of the Dial Telephone: The Contribution of Three Lindsborg Inventors, by Emory Lindquist, ... The dial method was based upon a finger wheel dial instead of the push buttons, which were cumbersome and impractical. Outstanding contributions were made by them in the invention of the dial telephone, the piano wire switch, the automatic selection of an idle trunk, the pay stations for automatic subscriber lines, the preselection of trunk lines, etc. Lundquist applied for more than 100 patents on the automatic telephone. While the principle of the automatic telephone was known prior to this time, the important invention of the dial telephone, with its unique features, resulted from the patent issued to Keith and the Ericksons. www.kshs.org /publicat/khq/1957/57_1_lindquist.htm   (2750 words)

Privateline.com: Early Work on Dial Telephone Systems by R.B. Hill (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09) Dial telephone systems derive their name from the use of a dial, or equivalent device, operated by a subscriber or operator to produce the interruptions of current that direct or control the switching process at the central office. At each station, in addition to the telephone, battery, and call bell, were a reversing key, a compound switch, and a dial (Figure 2a) similar to that employed in dial telegraph systems, and bearing on its face the numbers corresponding to the different stations of the exchange. For each of these steps, the calling subscriber dial arm made a corresponding advance until it encountered the brass plug which had been inserted in a hole, whereupon a change in the current strength took place, which stopped the distant connector on the proper terminal, and the desired connection was completed. www.privateline.com.cob-web.org:8888 /Switching/EarlyWork.html   (3615 words)

International Telephone Dial Tone Signaling Reference The Dial Tone signal is used in Public Switched Telephone Networks to indicate that the telephone network switching equipment has recognized that a telephone has gone off-hook, and the switching equipment is prepared to receive the dialed digits or DTMF codes. With the exception of one country (Italy), the dial tone signal is a constant signal and normally only stops when the first digit is dialed or the first DTMF code is received. Japan also differs from all other countries, in that the volume of the dial tone is quite low, while the busy and ring-back signals are quite loud, where all other countries have the dial tone signal louder than the busy and ring-back signals. nemesis.lonestar.org /reference/telecom/signaling/dialtone.html   (283 words)

O'Reilly Radar > Round 2: Dial Tone The principle of dial tone is to create a situation where users can do something for themselves that once required the intervention of an operator. As Crichton noted, the rotary dial telephone was the first computer that allowed direct interaction between humans and computers. Of course, the dial tone is an interface between a human and a computer, but its goal is to facilitate communication and transmission of information between two or more humans, asynchronous communication in the case of blogs and sites like MySpace... radar.oreilly.com /archives/2006/08/round_2_dial_tone.html   (2593 words)

100 Ways to Mis-Dial 911 This is a very common dialing mistake by persons trying to dial a telephone in any of the area codes that contain the digits 9-1.

As soon as the number "911" is dialed, the remaining digits are ignored, and their call is routed to the appropriate PSAP. www.911dispatch.com /911/911_misdials.html   (2444 words)

What is dial-up access? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary Refers to connecting a device to a network via a modem and a public telephone network. Because dial-up access uses normal telephone lines, the quality of the connection is not always good and data rates are limited. In the past, the maximum data rate with dial-up access was 56 Kbps (56,000 bits per second), but new technologies such as ISDN are providing faster rates. www.webopedia.com /TERM/D/dial_up_access.html   (337 words)
