Demo #2 - Overview
Each combo (31) of the 5 relays has an assigned sound code. Each code stands for a dedicated function in a working exchange.
​
So, for example, when you hear a frog croaking, imagine the relays are counting dial pulses. Each sound code represents a different operation. ​​
Anything a modern computer can do, its relay-based cousin can do. Just on a much larger scale and much much slower. The Demo sounds are for fun only and are not linked to actual exchange workings. Young kids will enjoy the sounds.
A large phone exchange may use ~1,300 relays to complete a call.
