The Kitchen Computer was technically known as the H-316 Pedestal Model. Series-16 rack- and table-top models were available as well. Despite its spectacular lack of success in the kitchen market the Series-16 technology was not completely lost as it eventually made its way into components used in the ARPANET as interface message processors for connecting hosts a more suitable market for cutting-edge pioneer computing technologies. See Altair PCP series computers. hook switch switch hook The hook switch was originally designed not just to terminate a connection so the next call could come through but served also to disconnect from a battery source so it wouldn t be quickly used up and later an electrical source. Modem telephones draw current from the line and don t require a separate battery to operate the basic calling and receiving functions but the hook switch the hook on the side of an old traditional box phone or the buttons plungers on top of a traditional rotary desk phone are still used for disconnecting a call and sometimes for generating a tone if they are held down briefly which doesn t cause immediate disconnection .
