North Electric information by Dan Haislet
North Electric was a US based corporation located in Galion OH for most of its existance, and was the largest supplier of crossbar equipment to the independent phone market, supplying the large office NX1 and NX1E and the small office NX2. It was also the manufacturer of the TSD toll switch. It was owned for a time by LM Ericsson, and later purchased by United Telephone in the late 1960's.
It was sold to Alcatel in the 1980's which then discontinued the North Electric name. It's last product was the DSS1210 digital switch. I worked as an installer for North Electric from 1966 thru 1971.
