Abstract: A discharge of paper or other leaves from the top (S) of a stack is by a rotating feed-roller (17;41) mounted on a carrier (7,11;35-39) that moves progressively along the stack in maintaining the roller (17;41) engaged with the top leaf. The carrier (7,11;35-39), which has a slot-mouth (8;52) through which the leaves are discharged successively by the roller (17;41), is guided in its downward movement by side-wall slots (12;40) of a casing (2;32) holding the stack, and has counter-balancing weights (23;50) attached for adjustment of the pressure of the roller (17;41) on the stack. In one form, the carrier is mounted on a plate which carries a motor for belt-drive to the roller, and which has sliding pivotal movement in the casing to enable the carrier to follow the guide-slots. Alternatively, the motor is located within the roller and ears of brackets on the carrier are located in the guide-slots to hold the carrier from tipping.

Abstract: A local alarm circuit and a remote alarm circuit carry out a plurality of failure monitoring and alarming functions for each of a plurality of digital groups (digroups), of time division multiplexed channels that are time multiplexed together on to a common bus. The local and remote alarm circuits utilize common control techniques and are of a similar circuit configuration. Each alarm circuit comprises an alarm timing store having a shared recirculating memory, and an alarm status store with a shared recirculating memory. The timing store serves to integrate and time failure indications for each of the digroups, and the status store maintains a continuing real time record of the alarm status for each digroup. When the timing store counts out a predetermined failure duration for a given digroup, the alarm status record for the digroup is changed and an alarm signal is generated.

Abstract: The disclosed reframe circuit utilizes common control circuitry to carry out a reframing operation for any, or all, of a plurality of time division multiplexed digital data groups which are out-of-frame. An old data store is used to store a given number (m) of selected data bits, of each digital group, for two frames for framing comparison purposes. A reframe comparator serves to compare, for each digital group, the m bit output of the old data store with m data bits that are two frames later in time. A suitability store is used to record, for each group, which of the compared m data bits have had framing pattern violations and which appears as a suitable candidate for the framing bit. Based on the present set of comparisons and past suitabilities, a shift decoder searches for the framing bit within the current m-bit window until it has either marked all m bits unsuitable or has found the true framing bit within the window.

Abstract: A signaling extraction circuit utilizes common control circuitry to carry out the signal extraction function for all of a plurality of time multiplexed, digital data groups (digroups), each of which comprises 24 time division multiplexed, PCM encoded channels. Each digroup uses eight bits for transmitting digital information for each channel, but the eighth bit (D8) is borrowed for signaling purposes in every sixth frame. To identify these signaling digits, signaling frame information is inserted in a digroup bit stream in the framing bit position of every other frame (i.e., the subframes). A signaling subframe pattern store comprising a shared recirculating memory serves to maintain a continuing real time record of the pattern of the signaling framing information for each digroup, as well as a test digroup. When a predetermined pattern has been recorded for a digroup (i.e.
