I stumbled upon this little device today, and since it was Bell System, decided it needed a place in my collection.

Any ideas what it was designed to do?

The long metal component says "Danger high pressure, do not open 337A WE"

Any Ideas?

It's a relay.

The " -49 " (a color suffix) in the part number means "light olive gray" referring to the plastic cover.

So it's like a Wheelock for a Comkey.

Thanks, Arthur!

Your knowledge is encyclopediac.....

Thanks, Sam, although 355A was the person who posted the BSP reference.

This unit, unlike the Wheelock family of generator-driven auxiliary relays, uses (I believe) other low-voltage signals to do the same tasks. I believe that the "turkey tone" audible signal, or maybe a ground, is used to activate it, but I have not seen the BSP in 25 years so I can't be sure.

The information regarding the 22A apparatus unit was extracted from the third volume of the Key Systems (ComKey) Service Manual.
Perhaps a scanned version is available in the TCI Library or from Sam Etler or one of the other scan contributors.

Thank you WECo 355A! My apologies. I'm so used to Arthur coming up with the obscure WE info....

I never worked for Bell so my knowledge of WE proprietary products is somewhat limited.

Arthur - Yea, I realize that it wasn't using Ring Generator, just that it provided the same functionality.
