Abstract

A switching arrangement coupled to an operator's subset, a called party's subset, a source of key system positive ground, a supervisory indicator lamp and a line button lamp operates to light the indicator lamp when the operator's subset is taken off-hook to answer an incoming call, to cause the line button lamp to wink when the operator's subset is placed on hold to disperse the incoming call to a called party's subset, to extinguish the indicator lamp and the line button lamp wink when the called party's subset is taken off-hook and to cause the line button lamp to again wink when the called party's subset is placed on hold after the called party's subset has been taken off-hook.
