SENDER No. 9A and 9B

The Sender No. 9 was produced by PYE-TMC and intended as a retrofit for the Public Exchange Manual Switchboards.  Most public exchanges had their dials replaced with this sender.  A  Key-Unit No. 4/1 was plugged into the Sender.

They were also used as a retrofit for the PMBX No. 1 and as a standard fitting on the PMBX No. 11, both used on customers premises.

Use
Sender No. 9A - Public Exchange Operator Switchboards when used with Key-Unit No. 4/1A.
Sender No. 9B - Public Exchange Operator Switchboards when used with Key-Unit No. 4/3A.
Sender No. 9B-1 - PMBX No. 1A and 11 switchboards.

The Sender No. 9A just had terminations.  The Sender No. 9B-1 had a flexible lead with a Plug No. 616A.  This connected to a Jack No. 83A which was wired to the switchboards power and dial terminations.  On the PMBX No. 1A a Voltage Regulator was required and wired into the power connections.

They could work on either 24v or 50v DC powered switchboards.
