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.

If there is no provision for disconnecting the automatic brake, you will have to dismantle part of the trip mechanism yourself. Usually it is a simple matter to remove one or two screws and lift out part of the linkage. purposes. On some players you can do this by means of a small lever provided on the motor board. On others you will have to lift off the turntable plate and, after studying the auto-brake linkage, decide which screw to remove. You may then be able to attach your pointer to the disused radius arm on the pick-up and so avoid adding weight to it. The safest and most accurate pointer is an enlarged shadow of the pick-up head. By carefully positioning a small flashlamp in a blackened hood on the motor board, you can throw a shadow of the pick-up on to a scale in the cabinet lid or along the front of the motor board. This produces a weightless pointer a foot long or more. 30
