• His solution of this difficulty was a relay system. 鲁伯特·萨金特·荷兰. 历史性发明.
• When current is made, the relay attracts an armature, which thereby closes a circuit in a local battery and thus causes a click of the sounder. 伯莎M.克拉克. 科学通论.
• This device not only worked with great rapidity, but was extremely sensitive, and would respond to currents too weak to affect the most delicate electromagnetic relay. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• This device being a relay, its purpose is to repeat transmitted signals into a local circuit, as before explained. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• The relay coils are connected by wire to the spring piece, S, and the armature lever is connected to earth. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• Under these conditions the current of the main line is not sent through the sounder, but through the relay which opens and closes a local battery in connection with the strong sounder. 伯莎M.克拉克. 科学通论.
• But in the height of the confusion, a mounted man galloped away to order the relays, and our horses were put to with great speed. 查尔斯·狄更斯. 荒凉山庄.
• Thus far we have referred to two systems, one the neutral or differential duplex, and the other the combination of the neutral and polar relays, making a diplex system. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• It consisted, generally speaking, of an electromagnet with relays connecting with a red and a blue lamp. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• I obviated this by using several relays, each with a different adjustment, working several sounders all connected with one sounding-plate. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• As this causes a loud repetition of the original signals, it will be seen that relaying is an economic method of extending a telegraph circuit beyond the natural limits of its battery power. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• She served, however, a most useful purpose, by virtue of her great bulk, steadiness, and carrying capacity, for relaying the Atlantic cable in 1866, and others in 1873-1874. Edward W. Byrn. 十九世纪发明进展.
• In such a case the movements would be the reverse of those above indicated, but the end sought--namely, the relaying of messages--would be attained with the same certainty. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• It will be understood, of course, that the electromotograph is a receiving and relaying instrument. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
• The actual relaying was accomplished through the medium of two contacts making connection with the local or relay circuit. 弗兰克·刘易斯·戴尔. 爱迪生的生平和发明.
