To open communication.--8 reversals, commencing Z to E, each ¼ minute. 50 nauts. payed out.--10 reversals, commencing Z to E, each 1 minute. 50 nauts. distance run, signal will be, 2 reversals, each 2 minutes, commencing Z to E. “ “ “ 2 “ “ 1 “ “ “ “ “ “ 2 “ “ 2 “ “ “ Defective signals.--2 reversals, commencing Z to E, each 5 minutes. In soundings.--1 current of 10 minutes, Z to E. Land in sight.--1 “ “ “ “ Notice to increase power.--1 current of 5 minutes, commencing Z to E, and 5 reversals of 1 minute’s duration. Notice to reduce power.--5 reversals of 1 minute, commencing Z to E, and 1 current of 5 minutes. SHORE. 1. During the paying-out of the Cable, from the moment of starting until the end is landed at Newfoundland, a system of testing will be applied without intermission. 2. The tests will be for insulation, for continuity, and to determine the copper resistance of the conductor. 3. Each series of tests will commence at the hour (Greenwich time), and will last 1 hour. Both the insulation and C R tests will be made on board. 4. The insulation test will be made on board, and to enable that to be done, the end of the Cable must be insulated on shore for 30 minutes, commencing at the hour. 5. At the 30 minutes past the hour, signals will be sent to the ship for 10 minutes. Should ship at this time desire to open communication, ship will put on a current so as to oppose shore’s current on his galvanometer, to arrest shore’s attention, and will, when gained, give the call as in paragraph 10. 6. The ordinary signal will be 5 reversals of 2 minutes’ duration, commencing C to E. 7. At the 40 minutes, Cable to be put to earth direct, without any instrument being in circuit. 8. At the 50 minutes, signals will be received from the ship. The ordinary signal will be 5 reversals, each 2 minutes’ duration. 9. Then a repetition of the same series to be made and continued. 10. Should ship desire to open communication by special speaking instruments, notice will be received by a signal of 8 reversals (giving a deflection the opposite to the ordinary signals) of ¼ minute’s duration. 11. After returning the same signal to the ship as an acknowledgment, the speaking instruments to be put in circuit, and the message from the ship received, and when acknowledgment of message, or reply, is given, the regular system of signals to be resumed as if no interruption had occurred.
