<p>CENTRAL DICTATION SYSTEM A central dictation system including a plurality of remote dictate stations and a plurality of record/reproduce stations. Any one of the remote dictate stations is capable of communicating with any one of the record/reproduce stations so as to execute a dictation operation. When a record/reproduce station is communicating with a dictate station, the remaining dictate stations are prevented from gaining access to that communicating record/reproduce station. Various operating functions at the record/reproduce station are controlled from the remote dictate station by the transmission of constant currents having predetermined magnitudes representing the particular functions to be performed. The constant currents received at the record/reproduce station are decoded into predetermined control signals whereby functions such as dictate, rewind, stop, playback, fast forward and transfer can be attained. In the performance of a transfer function, a remote dictate station is transferred into communication with a predetermined, additional record/reproduce device which, typically, can be reserved for the recording and transcription of information having a high priority.</p> |
