And they thought I was old! Mr. KLD, you have just admitted that you are older than I am. The defense rests. Your witness, Mike?

confidencer was a handset microphone that cut out background noise. screw off regular transmitter, screw on confidencer. kind of a small rim around it keeping out background noise.
the matrix could be "locally" made on the 66 block or i think it was a western electric product pre-made.

Okay, Twisted Pair, I sent you a set of pictures via e-mail. I'm too dumb to figure out how to get them posted here. An ITT 512 has card slots for up to 13 COs. Their shoebox (601) was good for 4 from the factory but I have had it support more with some "creative" wiring. Also dial intercoms. The WECO 551 series wasn't as flexible. Any questions, let me know. KLD

OOOOPs, EV --- Ed --- you know, that old man. I probably have to plead guilty to that one --- just survived longer than most.  Okay, roll me out to the sunny side of the porch so I can say "Good nnnnn---------- "

Hey, Ken. The ITT601 was ready to go for five lines AND they had a plug-in 10-station intercom card that plugged in the bottom slot. All that was needed was the appropriate number of line cards. Of course, if Touch Tone intercom was desired, a piggyback card was required. The 601 had all of the regular power connections available if you wanted to use an external intercom, like a Melco or Tone Commander unit.

![[Linked Image from i46.photobucket.com]](https://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f114/twistedpair/KLDs1A2installation_edited.jpg) From KLD: The large box lower left of the framework is the power supply. The upper row of card slots starts with CO1, goes to the right. Sot six has been rewired for a 403 card (MOH). At the far end of the card slot row is the interrupter. That is what makes the clickity click sound when you are on hold. All mechanical Central Offices used to have a combination interrupter/ dial tone / ringing machine. In the KSU it is just smaller. Thanks KLD for the pics! I'm going to attempt to post the 2nd one here (the one without your customers mug shot) Why do they call the 1A2 a "shoebox" KSU? It's pretty large and I take it that the cover is removed for the pic. With the cover on it would be even larger.

This one is not a "shoebox" --- The WECO 551s and ITT 601s were much smaller --- about the size of a shoe box thereby the name. This one is the next size up --- I'll measure it and give you the exact size. And, YES, the cover was big enough to give your golden retriever a bath in. KLD

At least when we installed 1a2 for customers we did not have to answer all those inane questions about Caller ID .
