  • trunk lines terminating in the bank contacts of one of said groups, and multiple connections between said groups for introducing a slip multiple between bank contacts of said groups to eliminate the tendency of a number of switches to line up on the same idle trunk line when the switches are operated from a multiple of the same trunk line.
  • a group of preselecting rotary line switches having corresponding bank contacts connected in multiple, an intermediate distributing frame Jior dividing the bank contacts of said switches into a plurality of groups, a plurality of trunk lines less than the number of bank contacts in each of said switches terminating in said intermediate distributing frame in one of said groups, and multiple connections between non-corresponding contacts in said groups at said intermediate distributing frame to reduce the tendency of said switches from simultaneously preselecting the same trunk line when the switches are stepped from a multiple of the same trunk line.
  • a plurality of multicontact switch banks each comprising groups of contacts, multiple connections between corresponding contacts of the different switch banks, and slip multiple connections between the contacts of the different groups of contacts.
  • a plurality of multicontact switch banks each comprising groups of contacts, multiple connections between corresponding contacts of the different switch banks, and a cross-connecting rack for multiply connecting non-corresponding contacts of the groups.
  • a plurality of switch banks each comprising groups of contact sets, multiple connections between corresponding contact sets of said banks, multiple connections between non-corresponding contact sets of the different groups, and connections from the individual contact sets comprising one of said groups to switching devices.
  • a plurality of switch banks each comprising groups of contact sets, multiple connections between corresponding contact sets of said banks, multiple connections between non-corresponding contact sets of the different groups, connections from the individual contact sets comprising one of said groups to switching devices, and a cross-connecting rack for effecting said last two connections.
  • a single level switch bank comprising a plurality of groups of contact sets, a cross-connecting rack, and means including said rack for inter-connecting contact sets of the various groups so that the order of access to connected contact sets is d′′rent for each group.
  • a single level switch bank comprising a plurality of groups of contact sets, registering devices connected to the contact sets of one group, and a crossconnecting rack for inter-connecting the contact sets of the various groups so that the order of access to said registering devices is different for each group.
  • a group of switches having corresponding bank contacts connected in multiple, means for dividing the bank contacts of said switches into a plurality of groups, registering devices connected to the bank contacts of one of said groups, and multiple connections between contacts of said groups such that the order of access to said registering devices from each of said contact groups is different.
