Systems
Wire spring relays were also incorporated into the signaling channel units of carrier systems.
For the Stored Program Control exchanges of the early 1970s, many relays were made with steel cores that remained magnetized after current ceased to flow in the winding. This "magnetic latching" feature, different from the use of slugs to delay relay operation, was used in the arrays of reed relays that switched connection paths in the early models of Electronic Switching Systems. A miniature wire spring relay was also produced, starting in approximately 1974 as part of the 1A redesign of the 1ESS switch.
Manufacturing of wire spring relays greatly declined in the late 20th century due to the introduction of digital electronic switching systems that used them in very small numbers.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“In all systems of theology the devil figures as a male person.... Yes, it is women who keep the church going.”
—Don Marquis (1878–1937)
“Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
