From the elementary single wire circuits arose the magneto system, whereby subscribers called the ex- change by turning the handle of a small generator.
Switching systems were generally improved, and a great advance was made with the introduction of the TT. central battery system, whereby the subscriber automatically called the exchange by lifting the receiver. The first exchange. of this type was introduced at Bristol in 1900,"
