Spacecraft electrical system

NASA is now testing and evaluating
for controlling electrical
power in advanced spacecraft. In
present aerospace electrical systems,
heavy wire feeders lead from the power
source to cockpit switches and circuit
breakers, to permit the flight crew to
control the electrical loads. In the new
approach, called Automatically Controlled Electrical System (ACES) by its
developer, the Westinghouse Aerospace
Division, the feeders run from the generator to various load centers. These are
located in electrical "centers of gravity"
for various parts of the craft, and are so
placed as to minimize feeder lengths.
Power is switched at these points by

Jay G. Gilfillan, co- founder with his
brother, the late S. W. Gilfillan, of the
Gilfillan radio and radar company, died
in Los Angeles July 18. He was 81 years
old.
Founded in 1912, the Gilfillan corn pany originally extracted precious metals
such as platinum and iridium. In the
1920's, it became one of the most prominent radio manufacturers of the country,
being especially popular on the West
Coast.
During World War II, the Gilfillan
brothers, working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, built important ground -controlled- approach (GCA)
radar aircraft landing systems. Gilfillan
became a part of the ITT system in
1964.
Mr. Gilfillan is survived by his wife,

After so many high -fidelity and consumer publications rated our HD 414

Sennheiser introduce another model?
The reason is perfection.
Not that our new HD 424 is perfect. But our engineers -the same engineers who
developed our dynamic and condenser microphones for the recording industryhave made some significant advances. Enough, we feel, to warrant a new model. Enough,
that a certain kind of music lover will appreciate the added fidelity, despite the added cost.
The primary difference is response As linear as our HD 414 is the HD 424 boasts
even greater accuracy particularly al low bass and high treble j'equencies. Due to
an improved transducer assembly and redesigned earpiece geometry. Heard on
the HD 424, low organ notes assume an aldditional,
fundamental richness without sacrificing the
"tightness" of good transient response While

from Don Lancaster which may help answer other reader questions:
A color TV set has a video bandwidth of only 2.5 MHz; a black and white
set has slightly more. This limits the
number of characters per line to 32 or
possibly 40, if an unmodified stock TV is
to be used, particularly an economy one.
Commercial terminal systems of 72 or 80
characters per line use special video
systems with bandwidths of almost 10
MHz.

...
economy TV's.
To obtain full interlace (The only
time you either need or want full interlace is when you must superimpose your
message on top of an existing, uncontrollable program source.) you get horizontal and vertical signals from the system you are going to superimpose the
characters on. These must be separate
and not combined as EIA sync. They
also must be TTL compatible. You compare the two horizontal outputs with a
phase detector such as the Motorola
MC4044 and derive an error signal to
correct the 4.56 MHz oscillator phase
lock loop style. The crystal is removed
and replaced with a capacitor and the
voltage control input is driven by the error output of the phase detector. Cost of
this modification is under $10, but custom engineering is involved for each application.
Baudot and EBDIC and SELECTRIC
codes are generated on the keyboard
simply by redefining the key matrix, and
possibly adding a flip flop or two. At the
TV TYPEWRITER end, you have to add
a read -only- memory such as the Harris
PROM 0512 and another flip flop to convert to ASCII, or you can sometimes use
commercial code converters.
We are trying to work up add -on's,
but am swamped with work right now,
and they won't be immediately available.
Custom engineering at this time, even at
our incredibly exorbitant rates, simply
isn't available. My thanks to the incredible number of readers responding
to this project. -Don Lancaster

the hi fi mass market, but for demanding
commercial and professional applications.
However, we know there are discerning
This is actually a "super -miniaturized" version of the capacitor -discharge ignition system used on racing
cars! Fig. I shows an exploded view.
One battery, one capacitor, a diode
and a step -up transformer, with spark
electrodes to do the actual igniting.
All this is operated by the switch
button, which opens the butane burner
valve at the same time that it fires the
spark. The whole thing is compact, no

If you go over the maximum on
any range, the digits go out, leaving
the decimal point and polarity indicator lit. Four ranges are used for
all measurements; 1.0, 10, 100 and
1000. The decimal point shifts automatically when the range switch is
moved. The only thing that could be
confusing here is the resistance range.
This plainly states that it is "k- ohms ".
So, the 0 to
scale here means 1000
ohms full scale, which will overrange
up to 1.9999. A reading of 1.5000
means "1.5 thousands" or 1500 ohms.

4- Channel QS Matrix
Although the majority of matrix -encoded quadraphonic records sold in the United States are encoded using
the SQ matrix system proposed by CBS (see Radio -Electronics, June 1973 page 44), acceptance of this matrix format is anything but world-wide. In Japan, in fact, the socalled "regular matrix ", or QS matrix, is favored by several
manufacturers and record producers.
The basic difference between the regular- matrix system
and the CBS -SQ system arises from a fundamental difference in opinion as to what the ideal sound distribution
field for four-channel reproduction should look like. CBS
champions the idea that left -to -right channel separation
should be maximized, and that front -to -back separation can
be sacrificed in the process -or enhanced by means of gain riding "logic" circuits.
Regular matrix proponents maintain that separation
should be uniform from channel to channel around the entire sound field. Sansui, in particular, takes this "uniform"
separation idea (originally proposed by Peter Scheiber in
this country) and adds phase -shifting angles during the encoding and decoding process that provide apparent greater
separation, but measurable separation is only 3 dB between
any dominant channel and its two flanking channels. As we
shall see presently, this uniform sound field idea also permits the use of a rather sophisticated form of enhancement
logic which Sansui calls "Variomatrix ".
The basic encoding formulas for the Sansui system
are:
L, = Lf + .414Rf + jLb + jO.4 l4Rb
Rt = Rf + .414L - jRb - j.414Lb
Where Lt and Rt are the matrix- encoded left and right signals applied to the record groove, Lf, Lb, Rf and Rb are the
left -front, left -back, right -front and right-back signals and
+j and -j represent +90 and -90 phase angles respectively. If four equal amplitude signals (one for each of the
four channels) are encoded at a given instant using these
formulas, vector diagrams of the content of each of the two
composite Lt and Rt signals appear as in Fig. 1. It is apparent that when such an encoded record is played on a

"lowering the volume control" slightly to obtain
unity coefficients for the desired or dominant signal outputs
in each case, the results become:
Lf' = Lf + .707R + j.797Lt,
Rf' = Rf + .707Lf - 1.707Rb
Lb' = Lb + .707Rb - j.707Lf
Rb' = Rb + .707Lb + j.707Rf.
The symmetry of sound distribution inherent in this
encode- decode approach is shown in Fig. 2. The asterisk
( *) in each square of the diagram shows where the desired
sound is supposed to be (e.g., front left) while the arrows
indicate sound amplitude and phase for each of the four
loudspeakers in each of the eight situations shown. In the
case of the left -only desired signal we see that full amplitude of that signal is heard from the left -front speaker,

while the left -back and right -front speakers reproduce the
same signal at an amplitude reduced by 3 dB. The diagonally opposite channel produces no output ( "infinite" separation) whenever a corner -only signal is to be reproduced.
Because only those speakers which flank the desired
speaker are operating under the "corner" -only conditions,
the listener's attention is further focused towards the desired source of sound. As a result, this simple dematrixing
can produce a fairly satisfactory four channel illusion despite the minimal separation figures. It is, in fact, the same
separation obtained with the CBS -SQ system when that

Not too long after Sansui introduced this simple matrix decoder, they followed up with a decoding technique
called Variomatrix.
Suppose, for the moment, that only a left -front and
right-front signal are being encoded, and that each has an
amplitude of 1. The encoded signals will consist of:
Lt = L + .414Rf; Rt = Rf + .414Lf
If we were to add these two signals together (Lt + Rt)
and add to that total the difference between the two signals,
we obtain:
(1.414L4 + 1.41Rf + (.586L4 - .586Rf) = 2.0L4 + .828R1.
Instead of 3 dB of difference between the two signals,
we now have over 7.6 dB of difference or separation. Taking it a step further, if we add to the sum of the two cornposite signals 2.41 times the difference between the two signals, we obtain:
(1.41L + 1.41R) + 2.41(.586L4 - .586Rf) =
1.41 Lf + 1.41 Rf + 1.41 L - .4I Rf = 2.824
The output from the Lr channel now contains only an
amplitude of L1, with the original crosstalk from Rf cancelled out by the choice of the coefficient, 2.41. Of course, we
Again, if it were a right -back signal that were dominating, the formula for decoding would have applied the

Multiple signals
"Ihe examples we have shown up to this point involve
applying a single signal to the encoding process. Under
musical conditions, of course, two, three or all four channels may be called upon to reproduce different sounds at
the same time. Thus, under actual musical conditions, the
matrix coefficients change from moment to moment with a
time constant of approximately 10 ms. Sansui claims. This
time constant helps mask sound directionality while at the
same time improving instantaneous inter -channel separation, without changing overall output levels. Obviously, if
two or more signals dominate the sound field equally, the
Variomatrix's nominally high separation capability must be
compromised, and the way in which separation capability
varies as front -back ratio changes is illustrated in Fig. 7.
The vertical axis of the graph indicates the signal level
at the four output terminals of the decoder with a l -kHz
signal fed into the L1 input of the encoder. At the same
time, a 3 -kHz signal of varying level is fed into the Lt, input of the encoder. Since the QS matrix in both encoding
and decoding is rotationally symmetrical, only the separation of the Lt channel is measured in relation to the other
channel. A plot referencing other channels would produce
the same results.

How Active
theory have been trying to do -in the inductor. This is especially true in the audio and
sub -audio regions where inductors are inherently big, expensive, difficult to adjust,
and subject to fields and hum pickup. After
a lot of false trys and some rather poor
ways of going about this, a batch of solid,
reliable methods now exist that can do the
job. Almost all these methods use low cost,
readily available operational amplifiers. In
most of the methods, the energy storage of
an inductor is simulated by taking energy
from a power supply and delivering it at
the right point and in the right amount in a
circuit to simulate exactly the bahavior of
an inductor.
Actually most methods don't work
directly on replacing inductors. Instead,
they look at the whole picture and attempt
to come up with a functionally equivalent
circuit that does exactly the same thing that
the original one did, but internally does it
in a wildly different way. These functionally equivalent circuits are often called active filters, and an active filter is simply any
circuit that uses at least one operational
amplifier or its equivalent to simulate exactly a circuit that normally would need at
least one inductor to get the same result.
A filter itself is any frequency selective
network. Three popular styles are the low pass filter that passes only low frequencies
and stops higher ones; the bandpass filter
that passes only a few or a range of median
frequencies; and a high-pass filter that allows only high frequencies to reach its output. A rumble filter on a turntable is a
high -pass filter. The tuning on an AM radio
is a bandpass filter, and the treble cut control on a hi -fi is a form of low -pass filter.

Why go active?
The operational amplifier serves as a
gain block with a very high input impedance and a very low output impedance. Its
essential function is to provide for energy
feedback to simulate the effect of energy
storage in an inductor. Two nice benefits
are the ability to drive any load and to use
higher impedance (and almost always
cheaper) components. So what are the benefits of an active filter? What do we gain
and what do we lose when we go active?
The first and obvious thing we lose is
the inductor, along with its cost, size, difficulty of adjustment, and sensitivity to hum
and other magnetic fields. Note also that
the passive filter has a load resistor. The
value of this resistor is critical, for if you
change it, the relative effects of the reactance changes of the inductor and capacitor
--
-3dB
BANDWIDTH
change and the response shape or the cutoff frequency may change. This is not true
of the op amp active filter, for the op amp
can drive most any reasonable load without
changing the filter's response. We can vary
the load from an oper circuit down to anything the op -amp can reasonably drive
without changing the response.
The input to the op amp is a very high
impedance. This means you can use high impedance resistors and capacitors for a
given response at a given frequency. The
benefits here are obvious. A high- impedance resistor costs the same as a low -ohms
one, but a high -impedance capacitor is
much smaller. and mt:ch cheaper.
Passive filters are inherently lossy, and
the best we could expect to hope for would
be slightly less than unity gain. With op
amps and active filter designs, you sometimes can design for any circuit gain you
want. Those we're going to show you have
gains above unity.
Another big benefit is tuning. Large
variable capacitors are nonexistent, while
large variable inductors are expensive and a
pain to adjust. On the active side, we have
resistors R1 and R2 and surely changing
them will change the response. For this
particular circuit, we have to change both at
once to change frequency without hurting
the damping and response shape. This is
easy to do with a dual pot, and we can easily get at least a 10:1 range. Even for slight
tuning adjustments, the resistors are easy to
change to get exac?ly the response you
need. Because of this, active filters are generally more tuneable and easier to adjust
than passive ones.
A final benefit is a bit subtle, but very
important when we want a fancier higher
order filter with faste- cutoff slopes. We can
cascade active filter blocks without any interaction, since they are free from fields
and mutual inductance and since they generally have a high input impedance and a
low output impedance. Cascadeability is a
very big benefit. You normally can't simply
cascade identical stages, for what was a -3dB point becomes a -6 and so on. What
you do is take the math expression for the
higher order filter you want and factor it
into second -order terms, and then build
each second -order term separately. Generally, the individual block responses will he
less damped and appear peaked when compared to the final result.
filters
active
are
why
good,
so
doesn't everybody use them? First and foremost, it's because very few people understand or appreciate what they are and what
they can do. But, over and above this, there
are some limitations and disadvantages to
their use. Let's take a closer look.
Obviously, we need some supply power
and the noise characteristics of the op amp
can effect very low -level signals. More important is the high- frequency limitations of
the operational amplifier. As you increase
operating frequency. an op amps open -loop
gain decreases and its phase characteristics
change so that you are limited to the upper
frequency you can handle with a given operational amplifier.
For amplifiers like the 741 style or its
dual and quad combinations, a reasonable
upper frequency limit for active filters is
between 20 and 50 kHz for low -pass and
high -pass versions, and between 2 and 5

We can cascade two low -pass second order sections to get a fourth -order Butterworth with a 24 -dB -per- octave cutoff.
We can't use identical sections, but we can
make everything identical except for R4
(the feedback resistor) on each section.
Finding the right R4 takes a lot of math,
but here's the final circuit (see Fig. 6). It
has an overall gain of 2.5:
The response is twice as good as before on a decibel scale. The passband is
twice as flat and still drops only to -3 dB at
the cutoff frequency of kHz. The attenuation drops at 24 -dB -per- octave, meaning
that every doubling of frequency gives you
only one -sixteenth the power and so on.

Careers in Electronics
The high- school graduate has countless
opportunities in electronics open to him.
Here is a brief look at just a few of them

ACROSS
250,000 miles of space, from a spacecraft in orbit around the moon, came
the voice of Michael Collen, July 20.
1969. to announce the successful landing of the first man on the moon.
Within hours, the world saw and
heard Neil Armstrong step from the
ladder of the LM onto the surface of
the moon and say. "That's one small
step for man. one giant leap for man-
kind."
For centuries, man has dreamed
about making the journey from earth
to the moon. The dream began long
before the dawn of the science of
electronics. Yet it was electronics that
made this journey possible. It was
electronics that navigated the spacecraft through uncharted deep space.
monitored the life support equipment
and the physical health of the crew,
controlled everything from launch to
landing of the spacecraft and maintained the voice and television corn-

If you don't have time or a desire
for formal training in electronics, give
thought to on -the -job or apprenticeship training. Under the direction of
the Department of Labor, apprenticeship programs incorporate classroom
training with full -time employment.
Apprentices follow a schedule of work
progress and related book knowledge
which leads to journeyman status in
four years. Your apprentice's pay will
be approximately 50% of what a journeyman gets; increases come as you
add skills and knowledge. When you

The circuit, Fig. 5 is based on a
timer using a 2N2647 unijunction
transistor. When the filament switch is
closed, power is applied to the filaments and to the 50 -volt control supply. RY2 is energized so its contact
closes, connecting timing capacitor Cl
to the 2N2647 emitter through the
normally closed contacts of RY1. The
capacitor charges through R1, R2 and
DI until it reaches a level equal to the
unijunction's peak -point emitter voltage. (This is the point where the emitter- base -1 diode junction is forward
biased and emitter current flows. The
peak-point voltage can be considered
as the unijunction's trigger level. The
time required for Cl to charge to the
peak -point voltage is determined by
the setting of R5.)
At this point, Cl discharges

We will examine and repair a
typical record changer and completely
service it to the extent of rebuilding
its motor. The techniques described in
the motor disassembly portion are applicable to any small motor (drill,
kitchen appliance, hair dryer, etc.) and
will prove a useful aid in their repair.
Before we can begin to service
the record changer, we must make
sure we have the proper tools. A suggested list of tools and materials are
in Table I. These items represent a
maximum investment of about $15.00,
depending on how many of them you
already have. Very few items are critical and a multitude of substitutes and

The AND gate is a circuit which
requires a 1 signal on all of its inputs
to give a 1 signal at the output. Any
other condition will produce a 0 on
the output. Normally 1 is represented
by a high voltage state while 0 is represented by a low or zero voltage. Fig.

A NOT circuit is simply an inverter that complements the input signal. Since there are only two binary
states, it follows that a NOT 1 is a 0

The buzz comes from laminations in the vertical output transformer. Heat from resistor R404 can soften the
transformer wax. This allows the laminations to vibrate,
causing the buzz.
To remedy the problem, remove R404 from its
bracket. Remove one screw and disassemble the bracket
from the transformer and electrolytic capacitor. Bend
bracket 90 degrees as shown in the drawing. Reassemble
the bracket and R404. Allow the transformer to cool about
one hour before applying power. This will allow the wax to
harden.
Caution: In SF1600 series receivers, slide R404 down

designed for home study and feature AUTO PROGRAMMED Lessons. Even if you have no experience in Electronics or had trouble studying before, CIE
courses help you advance faster and easier than you
would have believed possible. You learn at your own pace.
Unlike a classroom situation where you have just one
instructor throughout the course, at CIE you get help
from a number of instructors. Each is selected on the
basis of his specialized knowledge of a particular area of
Electronics. In this way, you benefit from the combined
knowledge of our entire staff.
Money-Back FCC License Warranty
A Government FCC License is certification of your
knowledge of Electronics. Some jobs, especially in broadcasting, require a license, but nearly every employer recognizes its value. So why doesn't everyone who wants a
good job in Electronics get an FCC License?
The answer: it's not that simple. You must pass a
Government licensing exam. A good way to prepare for
your FCC exam is to take a licensing course from Cleveland Institute of Electronics. Our training is so effective
that in a recent survey of 787 CIE graduates, better than
9 out of 10 CIE grads passed the Government FCC
License exam.
That's why we can offer this famous Money -Back
Warranty: when you complete any CIE licensing course,
you'll be able to pass your FCC exam or be entitled to a
full refund of all tuition paid. This warranty is valid
during the completion time allowed for your course. You
get your FCC License
or your money back!

better understanding of
binary addition, try several other examples and check the results by converting to the decimal system and
adding.
Binary subtraction uses similar
techniques, and in most computing
circuits subtraction is performed by
complementary addition. Multiplication
is normally performed by repetitive
addition, and division by repetitive
subtraction. The result of these operations is highly significant since all four
basic arithmetic operations can be performed with a binary adder circuit.
Binary calculations may seem
slow when done by hand, and repetitive addition and subtraction to multiply and divide may seem inefficient.
But electronic counting circuits are so
fast that binary operations are performed quite rapidly. For example, a
typical calculator, such as the MITS
1440, can add two 56 -digit binary
numbers in less than a millisecond
and can multiply the same numbers in
approximately 180 ms. The MITS
7400 scientific calculator is even faster
and can add two 76 -bit binary numbers in approximately 120 ms.

The receiver section features an
AM /FM stereo tuner with a center

strength meters, and a stereo beacon.
Push switches are used for input selection, main and remote speakers, 4channel tape monitor, 2- channel tape

there no compromise in the LR- 4000's
performance, especially the sound
quality which was notably clean with
unusually low distortion.
The measured performance of the

12V p -p pulses appearing at the collector of Q105 are actually from the
terminal 11 winding on the flyback
transformer and are used to forward
bias diode CD103 and supply collector
potential for Q 105.
As negative horizontal sync pulses
from the transmitting station and flyback pulses from the receiver's high
voltage section coincide, Q105 conducts positive current through CD103

you should know (or remember), take
reverse and not forward bias to pinch
off their normally conducting depletion -mode N channels. How does
Sony now make its "peak" detection
effective? Probably through the small
propogation delays of its agc transis-

Then voltage divider R 133 and R 134
again drops this 6V to 1.68V since ED
= (6V x 3.9K)/(3.9K + 10K). Obviously, the agc rf amplifier is conducting since its collector reading is
2.1V. As Q106's base input increases,
this transistor becomes more and more
a variable resistor, shunting R133 and
delivering greater positive potential to
its collector because of decreased collector load resistance; and, therefore,
the bipolar rf transistor is forward
bias -controlled to reduce its ac output.

ACTIVE FILTERS
Bandpass designs
Bandpass filters are generally much
harder to design and more subtle to use.
About all we have room for here is to show
you two circuits that will do the job (see
Fig. 7). They're shown for any Q at a center frequency of kHz. And here in Fig. 8
are the same circuits for a Q=8: (1 kHz)
The two- amplifier job requires far less
stable gain and works better for higher Q's
and higher frequencies. Either circuit gives
you the equivalent of a single series "pole"
or tuned RLC circuit. This circuit, like its
passive counterpart has a nasty feature that
you must allow for. Its response starts falling off very steeply either side of resonance,
but for very low or very high frequencies, it

falls off at a more gradual rate of six decibels per octave. The response shape looks
like the diagram in Fig. 9.
Normally, you cascade several poles to
get the desired bandpass response. If we
put the poles on top of one another, we get
a very sharp response that is not very flat
in the passband. We can control the response shape by staggering the poles in frequency and by altering their Q. Spreading
the poles flattens out the passband, until finally you get a dip in the middle if you go
too far. Another more formal way to design
is to build a lowpass filter that does the job
you want and then use a math process
called transformation to get the desired
bandpass shape. When you only need two
poles, the simplest thing is to sit down with
a breadboard and experiment with the Q
and staggering for the response you need
(the circuit moves around just like the low pass and bandpass ones do by simultaneously changing capacitors or resistors);
this is also a trivial problem for any computer that speaks BASIC, but the math is a
bear otherwise. That's about all the details
on bandpass design we have room for here.
If enough readers are interested, we can
put together another story with complete
design curves for the two-pole bandpass designs in some other issue.

wouldn't get any color.) This is definitely not a loss of color sync, either.
So what's left? The bandpass amplifiers, and perhaps the demodulators.
The last one is not too likely, since
the rocker pattern on the picture tube
grids usually shows that these are OK.
So we are left with a problem in the
bandpass amplifiers. Now, what is it,
and what kind of a fault is it?
Reasoning will tell us. This is not
a short-circuit. If it was, it would be
more apt to kill the color signal entirely. So this is some kind of an open
circuit (and not one in the signal -path,
either; we have signals). Something in
the color circuits is ringing. This
causes the miscoloration, and the most
significant clue of all, the ghosts which
are present only in the color signals.
Turn the color off, and they go away.
I said open circuit, because this
must be caused by something which is

November, 1973
Dear Radio -Electronics Readers,
that is in the mainframe portion of this instrument. Since you have purchased the time base too when
you bought the mainframe, and since the output of the timebase can be programmed by the plug -in
module, many neat things can be done with the system. Would you believe a digital clock? Yes, even a
digital clock with four decade counters and no modulo 6 ability. The mainframe is yours for only $59.95.
It features a full four (4) digit readout (not 21/2 like others in this price range). This gets you everything
you need except the batteries for the mainframe. Naturally this includes things like a G -10 fibreglass circuit board and first quality standard numbered parts. What else would you expect from us? In addition to
this you get a huge (for us) nine page assembly and check out manual.
At this time we have Frequency Counter, Timebase, Timeperiod and Capacity plug -in modules. Available in the next few months will be a Volt- Ohmmeter, A -D Converter and Tach. Others are being planned.
We feel that this kit should be an outstandingly useful instrument for anyone working with electronics.
Some of you out there have had a long wait for this kit, but now we think that supplies have caught
up enough, and our parts deliveries have gotten close enough to "on schedule" to let everyone have a
chance to buy one of these. We also would be happy to send you a FREE catalog listing details on this
and our other kits. Just drop us

Another good point would be the
bias or cathode-current of the high voltage regulator tube.
Intermittent shorts or flashovers in
the high -voltage regulator, high -voltage rectifier or even the focus rectifier
will also do this, so you might try replacing these tubes first just to make
what
sure.

BUILD YOUR OWN HOME & CAR SECURITY published by Motorola
HEP Semiconductors, Phoenix, Arizona. 81/4 x 51/4 in. 106 pp. Solt cover, $1.25.
This book presents unique and useful projects for the hobbyist and
experimenter. These projects have been individually designed, constructed and tested by professional alarm system engineers. Each
project is prepared and described in a manner that allows a fairly inexperienced person to construct a worthwhile unit with ease and at the
same time, gain some basic knowledge of alarm electronics. Ten different construction projects are included, ranging from a moisture sensor
alarm to a photoelectric alarm to a door /window alarm to a voltage
sensing car alarm to a high -power electronic siren. Two additional
chapters present a basic introduction to alarm theory and necessary
construction hints and descriptions of the types of components used to
build the projects in this article.
INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIFIED THEORY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
MACHINES by M.G. Say. Harper & Row, Inc., 10 East 53rd Street, New
York, N.Y. 10022. 51 x 8 %2 In. 198 pp. $8.00.
This book regards all electromagnetic conversion devices-limited,
motion as well as rotary-as variants on the common theme of gap energy. Simple general principles for the development of force and torque
then lead to a variety of ways of realizing the devices. This approach
uses the system concept with its accent on dynamic rather than on
steady -state conditions. The book shows how the physical principles
lead readily to the circuit concept upon which advanced works rely in
their treatment of generalized theory. Many solved examples are presented.

coming quite popular with manufacturers. Sylvania in the Jan. 1971 issue
of its Service News, published a full
set of curves for its D -12 color TV
chassis, one for each transistor in it.
You can repeat this test for any solid state set, and either draw or photograph the curves for future reference.
In- circuit curves for similar stages tend
to look a lot alike; for instance, first
and second video i.f. stages, audio amplifiers, and so on.
In- circuit tests are simple, in principle. Since a curve -tracer tests transistors by turning them on, out-of -circuit; it should do the same, in-circuit,
and it does. Due to the numerous

Revolutionary!, was the reaction of our customers when they
saw our latest kit. Measuring only 2%" x 2v." x 23/8 ", and
accurate to 10 seconds a month, this chronometer promises
to entirely replace mechanical clocks in cars, boats and
airplanes.
Fits into a standard 2`4" instrument panel cutout. The
displays are bright L.E.D. displays that should last a lifetime.
Setting controls are recessed and operate from a pointed
object such as a pencil point or paper clip, in order to keep
non -authorized hands off. The clock should only have to be
reset at very great intervals, or in the event of power loss (i.e.,
replacing battery in car!. The clock is wired so that the
timing circuits are always running, but the displays are only
lit when the ignition is on, resulting in negligible power drain.
The low price is only possible because of a new one chip
MOS clock. Operates from 10 -14 Volts D.C. An accessory
unit which mounts on the back adapts the unit 59 20 -28
volts for twin engine aircraft and larger boats using 24 Volts
ignition. Know how disgusted you are with the usual car
clock? Order this fine unit now for rallying, sports events.

Today's Tesla coils are popular with experimenters and
students, and especially for science fair and educational
demonstrations. Ours is a high -frequency push -pull oscillator
coupled to a television flyback transformer, which steps up
an external 12 VDC power supply to many thousand volts.
SPECIAL NOTE: Although current output is relative)
low, some hazard is inherent in all high voltage devices. This
kit is intended for the experimenter who is mature enough to
observe reasonable precaution in its use.

TRANSISTORIZED FLUORESCENT
CAMPING/EMERGENCY LIGHT KIT!
This transistor inverter powered camping
and emergency light will provide a bright
portable light from a 12 -Volt D.C. battery. A cigarette lighter adapter is provided for automotive operation, or the
unit may be run from other 12-Volt
lantern batteries. The advantages of this
unit over more conventional incandescent lamps is the vastly
greater light output for equivalent power input and the
superior distribution and color of the light.
The camping /emergency light is enclosed in a weather -tight
plexiglas tube, with the electronics built into the tube,
Completion time should be less than two hours, making it a
nice evening's project, even for the beginner.
