The HF ranges are tuned by variable condenser and a variable nine position tapped aerial inductance the MF has three tuning controls anode tap switch, (18 to 24). Aerial tap switch (1 to 17), and fine tuning. The anode taps give a pre [deleted] of [/deleted] variation of 17 Kcs. The variable permeability fine tuning (from dust core) has a fre [sic] coverage of 20Kcs, for fine tuning between the anode taps.

The second fuction [sic] of the sidetone [sic] curcuit [sic] is to modulate our CW output at 1200CPS for MCW. The third function of the curcuit [sic] is to provide amplification of the mic [sic] speech fre [sic] to be superimposed upon the CW output when on R/T Position, of TR master switch.

[page break]
are connected to receiver via an external switch device, and trans The correct aerial for connection is selected by the pre range switch and master switch
RF Stage This has a tuned grid curcuit [sic] and is RF transformer coupled to the mixer, the secondary of the RF transformer is also tuned and this is the grid curcuit [sic] for the Hexode portion of V4 Freqency [sic] Changer The incoming signal amp by V3 is fed to the control grid of Hexode portion of V4. The screened grids are internally joined and screen the internal ejector grid which is directly connected to the grid of triode portion. The triode portion is the RF oscilator [sic] and always works 560 Kcs above incoming signal (when correctly tuned) the signal and osc [sic] fre [sic] are mixed in the
[page break]
Hex portion and the diferent [sic] fre 560Kcs apears [sic] in the anode curcuit [sic].
IF Stages These consist of pre tuned parallel rejector [sic] curcuits [sic] and are tuned to 560 Kcs they give maximum amplification only of freq [sic] of 560 Kcs and freq [sic] very near the incoming signal receive little or no amplification, thus overcoming second channel interference therefore giving a greater degree of selectivity and by means of Valves 5 & 6 the to IFA a greater degree of senceativity [sic]
AVC and BFO [underlined] BFO [/underlined] This is the triode portion of valve seven which is an independa [sic] oscilator [sic] oscilating [sic] at 280.5 Kc. The first harmonic of this pre ie [sic] 561 Kc is fed into the Detector portion of valve eight where it beat with signal of 560 coming from valve 6 so producing our 1 Kc note. The BFO oscilate [sic] basicly [sic] at 280.5 for this reason :-
[page break]
a pre of 561 Kc is desired but if the BFO was to oscilate [sic] at this pre there would be a tendency for the IF stages at 560 and the BFO at 561 Kcs to pull each other off freq [sic] due to the fact that both freq [sic] are so very near each other. Therefore the BFO oscilates [sic] at 280.5 which is far removed in freq [sic] from the IF stages, and in the anode curcuit [sic] of BFO we have a curcuit [sic] pre tuned to 561Kcs the Het adjuster (a variable condenser) provide a three Kc variation of the BFO freq [sic]. The Het switch is used to make or break the HT to BFO curcuit [sic] on for CW off for R/T. [underlined] AVC [/underlined] The two Diodes in V7 provide our delayed A.V.C. – the delayed voltage is thirteen volts the to [sic] Diode are connected to form one Diode.
Audio Freq amplif [sic] AFA is effected [sic] by V8 this valve is a DDT. One diode is used for DF
[page break]
the other diode acts as a detector and detect in the case of CW signs the 1 Kc AF being the differese [sic] between 560 & 561 Kcs mixing in detector stage – and in the case of R/T it detects the AF componant [sic] which is modulating the 560Kc carrier wave the triode portion mearly [sic] amplifies and passes on to phones the AF componant [sic]

MARCONI POWER SUPPLIES TYPE 47
[diagram]
[page break]
The type 47 is used with a 12V A/C system, and has a total resistance of 13 [omega symbol], and is connected in positive lead between Acc [sic] & LT PU. its purpose is to reduce the input voltage to the LT PU to 10.5 volts to give a stable and correct 6.3 LT output. All the type 47 resistance is switched in or out of curcuit [sic]
[diagram of type 52]
Type 52 is used with 24 volts system and has a total resistance of .735 [omega symbol] and is connected in positive lead between AC ACC and LT PU the portion 3 to 6 only is switched in or out of curcuit [sic] and its value is .355 of an [omega symbol] – the portion one to three is alway [sic] in curcuit [sic] its value is .38 of an [omega symbol]

LONGDEX RELAY AND TYPE 52
[diagram]
The Longdex relay is used in conjunction with the A/C ACC cut out type E or F (E-12v F- 24v). This cut out has two extra cut out for the Londex relay known as the aux contacts. The leads to the longdex relay solenoid are connected directly to the cut out via the two aux contact so that the full Acc voltage is passing through the coil, due to the charging from the EDG the solenoid becomes an electro magnet and its magnetic pulling effect upon switch A is enough to over come the tention [sic] of the spring thus opening the curcuit [sic] and
[page break]
bringing in all type 47 or the portion 3 to 6 of type 52 to drop the input to the LT PU down to 10.5 or 18 volts. In the event of break in type 47 remove two 5 amp Longdex relay fuses, With regards to type 52 for a break in portion 1 to 3 insert 40 amp emergency fuse, and for a break in portion 3 to 6 remove the two 5 amp longdex relay fuse’s

RF Stage This has a tuned grid curcuit [sic] and is RF transformer coupled to the mixer, the secondary of the RF transformer is also tuned and this is the grid curcuit [sic] for the Hexode portion of V4 Freqency [sic] Changer The incoming signal amp by V3 is fed to the control grid of Hexode portion of V4. The screened grids are internally joined and screen the internal ejector grid which is directly connected to the grid of triode portion. The triode portion is the RF oscilator [sic] and always works 560 Kcs above incoming signal (when correctly tuned) the signal and osc [sic] fre [sic] are mixed in the
[page break]
Hex portion and the diferent [sic] fre 560Kcs apears [sic] in the anode curcuit [sic].
IF Stages These consist of pre tuned parallel rejector [sic] curcuits [sic] and are tuned to 560 Kcs they give maximum amplification only of freq [sic] of 560 Kcs and freq [sic] very near the incoming signal receive little or no amplification, thus overcoming second channel interference therefore giving a greater degree of selectivity and by means of Valves 5 & 6 the to IFA a greater degree of senceativity [sic]
AVC and BFO [underlined] BFO [/underlined] This is the triode portion of valve seven which is an independa [sic] oscilator [sic] oscilating [sic] at 280.5 Kc. The first harmonic of this pre ie [sic] 561 Kc is fed into the Detector portion of valve eight where it beat with signal of 560 coming from valve 6 so producing our 1 Kc note. The BFO oscilate [sic] basicly [sic] at 280.5 for this reason :-
[page break]
a pre of 561 Kc is desired but if the BFO was to oscilate [sic] at this pre there would be a tendency for the IF stages at 560 and the BFO at 561 Kcs to pull each other off freq [sic] due to the fact that both freq [sic] are so very near each other. Therefore the BFO oscilates [sic] at 280.5 which is far removed in freq [sic] from the IF stages, and in the anode curcuit [sic] of BFO we have a curcuit [sic] pre tuned to 561Kcs the Het adjuster (a variable condenser) provide a three Kc variation of the BFO freq [sic]. The Het switch is used to make or break the HT to BFO curcuit [sic] on for CW off for R/T.

The Longdex relay is used in conjunction with the A/C ACC cut out type E or F (E-12v F- 24v). This cut out has two extra cut out for the Londex relay known as the aux contacts. The leads to the longdex relay solenoid are connected directly to the cut out via the two aux contact so that the full Acc voltage is passing through the coil, due to the charging from the EDG the solenoid becomes an electro magnet and its magnetic pulling effect upon switch A is enough to over come the tention [sic] of the spring thus opening the curcuit [sic] and
