[GreenKeys] Current loops

[Sheldon Daitch]

 Northern Radio, and probably others, made a loop current control module for commercial users.  The general applicationwas for automatic loop current control in loops where equipment was patchable and within reason, no adjustment forchanges in circuit configuration was required to maintain the proper loop current.

Now we all know the canonical circuit is 120V power supply in series with
2K ohms to produce a 60 ma loop current with acceptable rise time.

I've seen circuits published using the constant-current properties of a
transistor to reduce the rise time and allow a lower voltage power supply.
What I haven't seen is any simulation or measurement of these circuits,
and I'm not young and smart enough to be up on things like SPICE.  Wish
someone who knows how would do this and show us how well it works.
