connection from a non-synchronous phonograph to the voltage amplifier. The second jack
from the left is for use in measuring the grid "bias" voltage of the voltage amplifier. The two
jacks on the extreme right are for measuring the exciter lamp current of both exciter lamps,
and three jacks at the center are for measuring the plate currents of the voltage amplifier
tubes.
180. Description of the PA-5 Power Amplifier Panels.- The two power amplifier
panels are identical. The power amplifier units, using four UV-845 tubes each, are mounted to
the rear of these panels. At the top of each panel are two plate current meters. They are
recessed and protected with a pane of glass, because they are in a high voltage circuit. Holes
in each panel, covered with mesh screens, permit an inspection of the UV-845 tubes from the
front of the rack. The lever switch mounted in the lower left-hand corner of each panel is
used to control the
plate and filament circuits of the tubes. To the right of this switch are two small knobs, used
for grid bias control of the UV-845 tubes. On the right-hand side of the panel is a monitoring
jack for "plugging in" the monitor speaker. Below the monitoring jack is a speaker switch,
which is connected between the output of the power amplifier and the loudspeakers and is
used for turning "on" and "off" the output of the power amplifier.
