The relays were from WECO. Made by the millions, they were the ones used
in all Bell telephone exchanged from the early 50's up to the ESS
(electronic) exchanges. Remember seeing ones with less then a full
compliment of contacts, but that was pretty uncommon.

Looking at this documents:

I sill can't figure out what a lot of the stuff inside is for.
I've looked at one of these modems in the bottom of a 33 although not I expect a large part of the volume of stuff like
the relays isn't
really modem but call-management sequencing & switching:
on/off hook,
incoming-call detect, answer detect, originate/answer mode switching, etc.
Yes, that's what the manual suggests, it lists a half dozen relays. It's
not clear why any of them would be more than one or two pole relays, but
perhaps the ones that were actually used (which are many-pole devices)
happened to be standard units and were "more than enough for the job".
