In all ordinary electric bell work, if reasonable care is taken, no connections or splices are necessary in the wire. Should it be necessary to make a connection of two ends of wire, make a good one and solder it; do not neglect doing this (soldering connections) in case you cannot solder the connections, wrap them with tin foil, or some tissue paper, and on top of this use some insulating tape, making a good covering over the wire again. . Do not, however, use insulating tape right on a wire connection, as the place gets corroded, and is an injury to good work.

When it is desired electric bell work can be so arranged so one, two or more bells can be rung from one or as many more places as desired. This is all simple work, and can be easily understood by making electric bell circuit diagrams, to show similar points on same line.

The wire for push-buttons must be always connected in multiple, with the wire attached to the first push-button. This is easily done by making half connections. The push-button end of wires must always be so connected in open circuit bell work.

The bells when so connected that two or more ring simultaneously, should be also connected in multiple.
