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.

LIGHT SOURCE (Filament Lamps) 53 (b) — A faulty meter may be causing overloading through erroneous readings. Have the meter checked regularly. 4. Mirror Images Do Not Fall Exactly Between Filament Images (a) — This trouble may show up when a new lamp is installed. In this case it may be due to a slight difference in the assembling of the coils during manufacture, and must be compensated for by a slight alteration of the mirror. (b) — The new lamp may not have been installed according to the maker's instructions, which should be followed carefully for best results. (c) — The mirror adjustment may have loosened slightly, or may have been moved inadvertently. Do not alter the lamp at all if it has been set according to the maker's instructions, but adjust the mirror slightly until the images coincide — being very careful, however, to make the changes very slight at each adjustment. 5. Lamp is Blown Out When Projector Table Switch is Pulled (a) — If the controller handle is left at "On," then the pulling of the table switch will blow out the lamp. Always follow the proper method for putting the current "On" and "Off" when using incandescent lamps.
