The power amplifier rack contains four power amplifiers, each amplifier supplying one loud speaker. Under normal working conditions all four amplifiers are used, but in emergency any one or more of them may be cut out of the circuit. With this equipment (Type B, SPU) the following is supplied : Two sound heads, one input control panel, four loud speakers, storage batteries for filament current supply, a battery charger and a visual signal system.
