Abstract: A manually operated bowling apparatus is provided for use with a bowling lane and a bowling ball and includes a support assembly which includes leg members which straddle an end portion of the bowling lane assembly. The apparatus also includes an overhead support member supported by the leg members. A tether guide plate is supported by the support assembly at a position between the overhead support member and the bowling lane. The tether guide plate includes ten pin-tether guide apertures arrayed in a triangular pin-set arrangement. A pin guide assembly includes a pin-guide plate suspended by a plurality of flexible support cables from a first winch assembly supported by the overhead support member. The pin-guide plate includes ten pin-guide apertures arrayed in a triangular pin-set arrangement. The pin-tether guide apertures and the pin-guide apertures are in registration with each other. A set of ten bowling pin assemblies are connected to a second winch assembly supported by the overhead support member.

Abstract: An arrangement for interfacing the originating time stage (OTS) and terminating time stage (TTS) of a time and control unit (TCU) to the space stage of T-S-T digital switching system. The space stage includes an intra-path through the space stage as well as an interpath. The interface transmits PCM samples simultaneously from the OTS to both the intra and interpaths of the space stage. PCM samples from the space stage are received by an intra buffer and an inter buffer from the intra path and inter path respectively. A TCU control memory gates and connects either the intra buffer or inter buffer to the TTS.

Abstract: An interface arrangement is shown compensating for timing delays during transmission of communication information between a transmitting and receiving stage of a T-S-T digital switching system. The arrangement includes a buffer at the receiving stage having first and second storage files. During a first time slot communication information is written in the first file using control signals transmitted along with the communication information while simultaneously the second file is read using a local control signal. In the subsequent time slot the second file is written to and the first file is read, providing a one time slot slip between the transmitting and receiving stages.

Abstract: A space stage for a T-S-T digital switching system is shown arranged into four identical space stage units (SSU). Each SSU is arranged into modular functional elements. The elements are combined in each SSU to allow the space stage to grow modularly, interconnecting from thirty-two to sixty-four originating time and terminating time stages.

Abstract: A space stage for a T-S-T digital switching system is shown arranged to interconnect the originating time stages (OTS) and terminating time stages (TTS) of a first time group and the OTS's and TTS's of a second time group. The space stage includes four identical space stage units (SSU). The first SSU interconnects the OTS's and TTS's of the first time group and the second SSU the OTS's and TTS's of the second time group. The third SSU interconnects the OTS's of the first time group to the TTS's of the second time group and the fourth SSU interconnects the OTS's of the second time group to the TTS's of the first time group.

Abstract: A simplex time-space-time switching network is shown in which there is a crossover of voice information from one rail to another rail in a large digital switching system. The time control unit is divided into two rails both incoming and outgoing. Each rail multiplexes two 193 channel streams into one 386 channel stream of information. These two rails crossover in the originating time switching stage but remain segregated throughout the space switching stage and the terminating time switching stage.

Abstract: A duplex time-space-time switching network is shown in which there is a multiple crossover of voice information from one rail to another rail in a large digital switching system. The time and control unit is divided into two rails both incoming and outgoing. Each rail multiplexes two 193 channel streams into one 386 channel stream of information. These two rails crossover in the originating and terminating time switching stages but remain segregated throughout the space switching stage.
