Re: Type 66 Block

["BruceR" <brNOSPAM@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, think of the rows on the block as being numbered 1-50 down the side
and the columns labled A-D across the top.   So, the two wires for Line1
(L1), get punched to 1A & 2A and the two wires for L2 are punched to 3A
& 4A. The cable going out to the phone gets punched so that L1 is on 1D
& 2D and L2 on 3D & 4D. Now put bridging clips across the center pins of
the four rows and you have dial tone on the 2 lines at the phone.  You
can add more phones by repeating the process down the block. To bring
the dial tone down to lower rows, you loop the wire rather than cut it.
1A is looped to 5A, 9A, 13A, 17A, etc. It's hard to put this into words
so if you like I'll send some detailed pics. Send your email addr to me
