Hi tINY

That's taxing the memory a bit but I believe it had a 5Hz oscillator with + and - phase outputs and these were fed into a pair of MC1495 linear four quandrant multipliers. The output of these was fed through a 5KHz low pass filter to the loudspeaker driving output IC. It had numerous filters to make it suitable for telephone use.

Here's a pdf of the multiplier

PS It was designed for private 4 wire telephone lines but we also supplied a 2 to 4 wire hybrid in a little plastic box that had a pair of LO2567 transformers in it. The manner in which those transformers were wired was a marvel to behold!
