<blockquote type="cite">In most switching systems one pulse is used
for the digit 1, two pulses for 2, and so on, with ten pulses for
the digit 0; this makes the code unary, excepting the digit 0.
Exceptions to this are: Sweden (example dial), with one pulse for
0, two pulses for 1, and so on; <b><u>and New Zealand with ten
pulses for 0, nine pulses for 1, etc</u></b>. Oslo, the
capital city of Norway, used the New Zealand system, but the rest
of the country did not. Systems that used this encoding of the ten
digits in a sequence of up to ten pulses, are known as decadic
dialing systems. </blockquote>
