Once dialing 8 and letting go of the dial, it spins to the normal position.  This action causes the the dial to open and closes the line loop eight times.  This connector switch has been chosen by the other digits as the one having access to one hundred terminals of which the called subscriber is one.  The calling subscriber dialing 8, and the connector switch steps seize the terminals of a particular line on the eighth level rather than to choose an idle trunk from a group (hence no clicking sound), and it does not hunt over this level.
