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.

160 TEMPLIN August The electronic components operate from a single-phase 50 to 60cycle, 115-volt power source with a total drain of less than 2 amperes. The recording machine motor may be either a 3-phase, 220-volt synchronous type, a conventional 3-phase alternating-current interlock, or a 96-volt direct-current multiduty motor, depending on the type of power source provided for driving the motors of the associated cameras. Alternatively, by means of a supplementary electronic inverter, shown dotted in Fig. 1, the entire system, including the recorder and camera motor, may be operated from 96-volt batteries. Five 6-conductor-shielded cables terminating in Cannon type "P" connectors are required for connecting the components together. Ad OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES. RA-1278 PEC MONITOR HA-I289A SLATED R A1290* PUNCH Fig. 1 — Basic 300 Type recording system — block schematic. ditional cables are required for the microphones and for connection to the power source. Six varieties of the "P"-type connectors are used in order to minimize the possibility of mispatching cables. The assignment of terminals on the connectors has been arranged to prevent damage to components in the event cables are accidentally connected to the wrong receptacle. The microphone cables normally are 100 feet long. The system will also accommodate a 100-foot separation between mixer and amplifier. The amplifier, recorder, and power unit are intended to be located close together so that all may be under the operating control of the recordist. The power-supply cable may be as long as necessary, providing the terminal voltage at the power-supply input is within the range of 100 to 130 volts.
