10. SB-22/PT and SB-22A/PT manual telephone switchboards
General Information
The SB-22/PT and the SB-22A/PT are tactical manual switchboards that can be rapidly installed to
provide field facilities for interconnecting 12 local-battery telephone circuits, remote controlled radio
circuits, or voice frequency (VF) teletypewriter circuits. Two SB-22/PTs may be stacked to provide a
29-circuit capability by removing one TA-221/PT (operator's pack) and inserting five TA-222/PTs (line
packs). Replacing a line pack with a trunk pack permits one-way ringdown and one-way automatic
trunk circuits between the SB-22A/PT and any other switchboard with common-battery signaling.
Tone-signaling adapter TA-977/PT provides the operator with a 2-wire pushbutton tone-signaling
capability for interfacing automatic switches without operator intervention.
