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.

140 RHEOSTAT have located the trouble. If when it is disconnected at one end there is no failure of the lamp, then there has been a contact with the frame when it was connected into the circuit, or else there has been a contact with another coil or grid. Make sure by connecting one wire of tester to the frame and the other to a wire of opposite polarity: — if the lamp then lights, there is surely a ground to the frame. With a lead from arc to rheostat disconnected, and a lead from line to rheostat still connected, with one lead of test lamp attached to the rheostat frame and the other to wire of opposite polarity, then disconnect, one after the other, coils or grids from the frame : the one which extinguishes the lamp is the troublesome one and can be eliminated.
