We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

78 RICIMRDSOX'S BIAJEBOOK OF PROJECTION circuit a conductor of comparatively high resistance which is not intended to produce light, heat or power or to perform any similar function, but merely to provide resistance which will oppose current flow and produce a voltage drop. Special units, called resistors, are made for this purpose. They are available in an enormous variety of sizes and materials. (54) A number of types of resistors are illustrated in Fig. 33. A represents a device wound of resistance wire (usually iron wire) on a ceramic core. Figs. 33 B and Figure 33 33 C are devices of very similar construction, but coated with enamel which assists in radiating away the heat that is generated by the passage of current. Figs. 33 D, 33 E, and 33 F are of moulded composition which can be used to produce high resistance — as high as 10 million ohms or more. Fig. 34 illustrates the iron coils and grids, often so large that a separate resistance room is provided for groups of them near the projection room, which are used to provide a voltage drop required for operation of d.c. projection arc lamps. By contrast, the
