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.

STARTING TROUBLES 71 STARTING TROUBLES 1. Device Fails to Start When Proper Starting Instructions are Followed (a) — There may be no current in the line. Test for this and note if the main line fuses are blown. Also, note if the fuses in the circuit are intact. If the fuses are intact, test the line voltage. If no voltage is evident, the supply generator has undoubtedly failed. There is no remedy for this unless an emergency supply arrangement is at hand. (b) — This may also be due to broken contacts, bad wiring, and very dirty contacts. These should be examined, cleaned, and tightened wherever necessary. Examine the wire ends or the coils exposed to rubbing or movement for breaks and remedy them if found. (c) — There may be a short-circuit in the set wiring. Test for this, locate it and then eliminate it. (d) — The leads may have been replaced wrongly after cleaning. This should be tested and corrected.
