Note 1: Scan and commentary by Steph Kerman.

Note 2: The 5A varistor shown is required only for 52AB and 152AB desk stands, and when used at sidetone stations on grounded ringing lines the subscriber set must have a separate ringing condenser except subscriber sets having 313A vacuum tubes.

Note 3: Use when more than one desk stand is connected to a single anti-sidetone subscriber set.

Note 4: Redrawn and simplified by Bobby Koch.

Note 5: Colorized version by Peter Z.

Note 6: Use should be restricted to individual lines without extensions and only one low impedance or two high impedance ringing bridges are permitted on the line.
