Appeal No. 95-4553 Page 3 Application No. 08/057,548 recorder housing. (8:30-33.) Sander describes the locking of the recorder housing as follows: Because recorded communications may have critical value, for example as evidence, the bay containing each record deck is provided with an electromechanical lock which is controlled by a processor 60 over lines 78. Solenoid 80 will withdraw bolt 82 against the force of spring 84 when energized. Solenoid 80 is controlled by switch 86, preferably located in the bay door handle, and transistor 90, which in turn is controlled by line 78 so that when transistor 90 is energized and switch 86 is closed, bolt 82 is withdrawn. The open or closed state of each bay is sensed over line 79 by processors 60. The rules governing the bay lock logic are as follows: 1. If one deck is enabled for unlocking, all others are disabled and locked to prevent the cabinet from [toppling]. 2. If no password is entered all decks are disabled and locked. 3. If a password level 1 is entered, then all record decks which are in READY or RECORD and do not have a guard tone failure must be disabled and locked.
