Z.30 amplifiers to provide the finest possible standards of stereo reproduc-
tion. Four press buttons and four rotary controls are used to provide on -off,
three input selectors and Volume, Bass cut/boost, Treble cut/boost and
Stereo balance. The on -off button also switches the power amplifiers. The
front panel in brushed aluminium is flush mounted to the cabinet front, it
being necessary only to drill holes to accommodate the controls. Rear
adjustable brackets hold the chassis tight to the cabinet. The very latest

 INTEGRATED CIRCUIT F.M. TUNER
KIT
Dart Electronics has been appointed by General Avionics Limited as their U.K. distributor for
their FM Tuner kit, the first to use integrated circuits with pulse counting techniques developed
by Marconi -Elliott Microelectronics.
The circuit has built-in automatic frequency control, and with the inherent stability of the inte-
grated circuits, a reliable and easily set up circuit is offered to the home constructor in kit form.
A resistively tuned version is in widespread use as an industrial radio system and is noted for
its extreme reliability under continuous, unattended operation. The circuit employed effectively
contains 44 transistors and, although the quantity of discrete components is fairly high, the
entire unit is built on a double -sided board measuring 133 x 98.5mm (3.875 x 5.25in). The
Tuner can be run off a 12V d.c. power supply or a combination of 6 and 12V batteries.
All components are available BY POST ONLY from Dart Electronics at a special kit price of
£9 19s 6d plus 5/- post and packaging (U.K. & N. Ireland) which includes selector switch and
double -sided p.c. board ready drilled and tinned. The kit is complete with all necessary circuits
and instructions.
Full assembly details, circuit diagram and parts list are also available separately from Dart
Electronics at 2/6 per copy and an article appeared in the June issue of the WIRELESS WORLD
magazine.

ments were as follows:
To allow a train on to the turntable at any one
outlet and to enable it to be removed either forwards
or backwards from any preselected one of five outlets.

BISTABLE CONTROL
Obviously a bistable is required to do this, giving a
sharp control so that it is either stationary or rotating.
Rotation is started by a push button on the control
panel. This sets the bistable BSI in Fig. 4.2 with a 1

at its B output and a 0 at its A output. Since the

control amplifier is an inverting device, the A output
0 is fed to it, starting the turntable rotating.
To stop the turntable at the required outlet, a neg-
ative voltage "1" is taken from the output of mono -
stable MSI and is applied to a control wiping contact Fig. 4.1. Gate and buffer for the master control

 TRIP SWITCH
As an alternative to the start button a trip switch
may be mounted on the turntable so that the engine
starts the turntable rotating. In this case a relay
buffer and relay should be used instead of the control
amplifier and should be operated from the B output
of BSI. One pair of contacts is used to switch the RAILS USED AS
\\
turntable motor on and another two pairs to cut off GUIDES

the supply to the engine.

The circuitry is mounted on a printed circuit board,
the layout for which is shown in Fig. 4.3. The board -BUSH
shown caters only for the bistable and monostable (OLD MECCANO

and it is left to the reader to build up a relay buffer or
control amplifier according to which ever he requires.
WIPER SWITCH MECHANISM
The moving part of the turntable consists of a circle
of hardboard 12in in diameter. On to the underside of
this is fixed a circle of ordinary railway track (Fig. 4.3).
The central wiping contacts are also fitted to the
underside of this piece of hardboard and may be made

 THIS series of articles is intended as a basic "self -

wishes to design his own transistor switching circuits.
Component values may be calculated from the simple By B. Pounder
theory given and it will be shown how the circuits may
be assembled and tested.
Expensive test gear will not be required; neither will
elaborate power supplies. Battery operation will be
utilised throughout so that circuits may be tested without
the need for setting up elaborate equipment.

task of changing components in an already assembled
circuit simplicity itself. Because of this easy form of
component assembly, a number of circuits can be built
and tested very quickly. If a mistake is made in the
connections, correction is straightforward without
using a soldering iron.
There are three basic types of "Dec", S, it, and T.
Each contains rows of phosphor bronze contact strips
mounted in a small box beneath a plastics panel. The
panel contains rows of numbered holes above the con-
tact strips through which component leads may be
inserted into the contact strips. Contacts are electri-
cally and mechanically sound. Once a lead has been
set in a particular position and attitude, so it will remain
unless pushed or bent into another.
The arrangement of sockets on the three types of
Dec is shown in the photographs. Circuit layouts are
similar to those used with Veroboard, except that no
solder is required.

this point could correspond to any one of the base
current values of all the curves which pass through this

example shown. Conversely, if the transistor is
operated at a point such as Pc on the zero base current
curve, it is said to be cut-off.
Two input characteristics are shown in Fig. 1.5.

PLOTTING THE CHARACTERISTICS
A quick method of plotting a set of output charac-
teristics is as follows.

small, much less than 0.1mA for a germanium tran-
sistor and negligibly small for a silicon device.
Now connect link B to contact 10 and note Ic. This
Fig. 1.5. Transistor input characteristics will probably be less than lmA. Whatever the value of
Ic, replace RB by a resistor of value such that Ic = lmA
(as near as possible). The base current corresponding
to this collector current is calculated as follows.
From Fig. 1.2, it can be seen that the battery voltage
VBB is divided by the potential difference across RB
and that between the base and emitter terminals of the
03 02
01 transistor. Thus the potential difference across RB =
VBB - VBE. But since VBE is much less than VBB,
even if a silicon transistor is used, it can be neglected by

comparison; the whole of the base circuit supply

 A transistor can be used to switch the current through
RL on and off if it is operated between cut-off (i.e.
point Pc almost at the lower end of the load line) and a
point higher up the load line corresponding to the
required current. The higher point is frequently the
saturation point Ps for the following reason. At Ps,
VcE = VCE(sat) and is very small, so although Ic may be
large, the power dissipated in the transistor, VcE/c, is
small. The power is also small at cut-off, since Ic is
very small even though Vcs may be large.
At a point about half way up the load line however,
the power dissipated in the transistor is a maximum,
and equal to (Vcc/2) x (/C(sat)/2). For example,
suppose we have the following numerical values,
Ic 0.1mA, Vcs = 6V at cut-off,
Ic n_. 100mA, VcE = 0.1V at saturation,
then /c = 50mA, VCE = 3V at the mid -point of the
Photograph of the arrangement shown in Fig. 1.3 load line. The power dissipations are therefore:
The whole procedure is then repeated using batteries, At cut-off, 0.1mA x 6V = 0.6mW,
for Vcc of 6V, 4.5V and 1.5V, and points A2, B2, C2, D2 At saturation, 100mA x 0.1V = 10mW,
etc. marked in on Fig. 1.6. The small -slope sections of At mid -point, 50mA x 3V = 150mW.
the characteristics can be drawn in as shown. The It can be seen from these results that a transistor with
saturation part of the characteristic can now be found. a maximum rated dissipation of only 100mW could
Replace the supply battery Vcc by one of 9V and be used for switching between saturation and cut-off,

For the home experimenter who is interested in a

more complete knowledge of the characteristics as a
set, all that is usually required is to check that Ic is Fig. 1.7. A transistor amplifier circuit

Rs for which Ic is about 1 mA. The current gain is
then obtained by dividing the indicated Ic by the cal-

The circuit shown in Fig.1.7 depicts a transistor
amplifier with collector load resistance RL. Part of
the supply voltage Vcc is dropped across RL, the
remainder between the collector and emitter terminals
Thus
VCC = VL VCE
But VL = /cR2
so Vcc = ICRL VCE
or VCE = Vcc ICRL.
This last equation is the load -line equation for the load
RL. It shows that

(b) if VCE = 0, ICRL = Vcc, So IC = Vcc/RL,

 DOUBLE Six is a machine which plays dominoes. In
operation Double Six is given six dominoes, face
down, and plugged into them. When it is Double
Six's turn to play, the machine causes a light to appear
opposite the most favourable domino, at the same time
emitting a "cackling" noise. If unable to play, Double
Six makes a dismal moaning noise. Full playing
instructions and the rules by which Double Six plays
will be given later in this article.
STRATEGY
Double Six's strategy has been kept fairly simple so
as to keep down the complexity and price of the
machine. If allowed to play first against good oppo-
sition, Double Six should win just over half the time.
The strategy is as follows:
1. To play a domino matching one of those on the
end of the chain.
2. When there is a choice between two dominoes, to
play the domino with the most spots on. This
gives the machine a useful chance of winning if
nobody is able to play, and the total number of
spots are counted. This rule is broken for
"doubles" which are played in preference to any
other dominoes-even those with more spots on.
This is for three reasons:
(a) One has two chances of disposing of most
dominoes, as they have two different numbers
on. However, "doubles" have the same
number on both ends, and so there is a cor-
respondingly smaller chance of disposing of
them, especially towards the end of the game.
So it is advisable to play "doubles" while one
has the chance.
(b) If the opponent plays onto the opposite
end from the "double", Double Six will cer-
tainly be able to play on its next turn.
(c) If the opponent cannot play and the machine
plays a "double"; the opponent will still be
unable to play, and so he will miss yet another
turn.
3. When unable to play, the machine must acknow-
ledge this fact. In the prototype this was achieved
by making the machine "moan", and this has
proved one of Double Six's most popular fea-
tures. The machine may easily be modified to
make a "knocking" sound if a more conventional
response is desired.
DOUBLE SIX CIRCUIT
The main circuit diagram is shown in Fig. 1. TR1 and
TR2 form a multivibrator, the output of which is fed to
TR6 via the emitter follower TR3. The emitter follower
prevents TR6 from loading the multivibrator and so
stopping it oscillating. When TR6 is being driven the
primary of T1-the winding that was originally the
6.3 volt secondary-has an a.c. voltage of approxi-
mately 9V across it and an output of approximately
350V is obtained at D2 causing a high voltage to build
up across C3.
If any indicating neons (V2 to V13) strike current
flows through R6 and R7 making the base of TR5
negative and hence turning on TR4 and TR5. This
virtually shorts the base of TR6 to the positive line and
prevents it being driven by TR3; it also turns off TRIO,

in bursts, unaffected by TR8 which is turned off via
D3. The bursts of oscillation form the "cackle",

adjusted by VR2; the pitch can also be varied by c
altering C5.
Once the oscillation at TR6 collector has stopped, the
voltage across C3 will fall until the neon which has fired
extinguishes, returning the circuit to its original con-
dition. The voltage across C3 then begins to build up
again. This process causes the neon to flash and pre-
vents the voltage across C3 from rising above the
striking voltage of the neon in the lowest resistance path.
If the machine cannot play a domino, V1 eventually
strikes, this turns on TR7, reverse biasing D3 and
allowing TR8 to oscillate, producing the "moan". By
increasing R12 in value the oscillator can be made to
block and so produce a "knocking" sound.
While Double Six is on, a rising voltage is applied to
the pins of plugs PL1 to PL6 (Fig. 3), for this reason a
biased off switch has been used for Si.
CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS
Most of the circuitry was constructed ,on a piece of
plain Veroboard using pins for transistor and fly lead
connection and the component wires for wiring up
where possible, see Fig. 2. The transistors should be
added when the rest of the circuit has been completed
and the whole unit can then be housed in a suitable
wooden case similar to that shown in the photographs.
The case must be large enough to house the circuit
board, batteries, transformer and loudspeaker, and
there should be plenty of room under the top panel to
allow for wiring to switches S2 and S3; the suggested
case size is 10in x 9in x 6in deep.
FRONT PANEL CONSTRUCTION
The front panel is made of paxolin, in diameter
holes are drilled for the neons (see Fig. 6), rubber
grommets are inserted, and the neons pushed into the
grommets. (If the glass envelopes of the neons are
moistened slightly, this job is made much easier.)
Switches S2 and S3 are single pole, 10- or 12 -way
wafer switches; only seven positions are used.
Wiring to the switches and neons on the top panel is
shown in Fig. 5. Two small tag strips were used for the
wires from pins 1 and 9 on the B9A plugs but these are
not essential if longer wires are fitted. The wiring
connections to the B9A plugs are shown in Figs. 3
and 4; each wire is thin p.v.c. covered, preferably
colour coded to make wiring easier. The wires to
each plug are twisted together. As seven wires are
to be connected to each tag of S2, each individual wire \AA,
should be carefully inserted into its tag, and bent over to 0- CC ^I
keep it in place. Solder is not applied until all the
wires are in place. co on Ci
It is wise to check the wiring to each plug with a con- S
tinuity tester or an ohmmeter before soldering, in case
wiring errors have been made. Such errors would be
extremely difficult to track down at a later stage. The
length of the wires to each B9A plug should be adjusted
so that each plug matches its own position on the top
panel. 4.g
DOMINO DETAILS
The dominoes are made from solid blocks of wood, a
iin diameter hole being drilled in each to accept a
B9A valveholder, see Fig. 7. It is advisable to obtain
the valveholders either off old TV chassis, or from a
"surplus" supplier, as otherwise the cost of these com-
ponents may be rather high. The inside of each hole
should be varnished to prevent leakage through the
wood. The dominoes are painted matt black, and The main circuit diagram of Double Six

RULES OF THE GAME
Since there are many variations of
the game of dominoes, it would be as
well to state the rules of the game
which Double Six plays. (By modi-
fying the circuit slightly, it should be
possible to programme the machine to
play other variations.) Each player
is given six dominoes face -down,
which he does not show to his
opponents. The first player may put
down any domino he chooses to start
with. If a player has no domino
matching the ones on the table, he
admits this, usually by knocking on
the table, and misses his turn.
The first player to dispose of all his
dominoes is the winner. If no player
has a domino which matches, the
player with the lowest total number
of spots on his remaining dominoes
is the winner. It should be noted that,
as no player knows which dominoes
his opponents have, and the selection
of dominoes which each player gets
depends on chance alone, the outcome
of the game is not strictly determined,
and no strategy can guarantee a win.
This is in contrast to games like

 Advanced Radar System
SYSTEM tests on a new advanced radar prototype-
forerunner of what could be the world's most
powerful radar for defence against missile attack in
the 1970's and beyond-have begun at Hughes
Aircraft Company in California.
The tests include radar range exercises and actual
detection and tracking of air traffic. The prototype,
a scale version of a proposed long-range system
called ADAR (Advanced Design Array Radar),
will be the most powerful radar yet built by Hughes.
An engineer is shown making adjustments to
energy feeds on a scale prototype of the new phased -
array radar. The energy feeds are devices that
channel radio -frequency energy between points in
the system.

ELECTRCINORAMA
Laser Television Tape Player
A LABORATORY model of a revolutionary, low-cost
colours television tape player built around
lasers and holography and destined for home use in
the early 1970's was unveiled recently by RCA. In
commercial form the tape player, named "Selecta-
vision", is expected to be the first consumer product
to employ lasers, and will be designed to attach to
any standard colour or black and white television
set. It will play full -colour programmes recorded on
tapes made of the same clear, inexpensive plastic
material used in supermarkets to wrap and display
meats. The material for the tapes will cost only
about one -tenth as much as conventional type films.
The clear plastic Selectavision programme tapes
will be scratch -proof, dust -proof, and virtually
indestructible under conditions of normal use.
They will have countless replay capabilities, be able
to run in slow motion, or be able to be stopped and
started at will so that a single frame can be studied at
length, if desired. The player itself will be compact,
and as easy to operate as a modern cartridge player.

The television tape player is shown in use on the left

 Giant Microscope
1-Fie first of five giant electron microscopes is
nearing completion at the AEI Scientific
Apparatus Limited; it has already been operating
successfully at one million volts'during tests.
In November the UKAEA, Harwell, will take
delivery of this advanced instrument, the first com-
mercial million -volt electron microscope to be built
in Europe. It will be used to investigate thicker
sections of metals and materials than hitherto pos-
sible using an electron beam accelerated by ten times
the voltage used in a conventional high resolution
electron microscope. The beam will probe the
samples in an effort to discover new information
about the structure and behaviour of metals both
in common use and those with special properties
needed for new technological developments.
Biologists will also use these electron microscopes
to study the structure of cells. There is also the
exciting possibility that the great penetrating power
of these new instruments may permit observation of
living material in special protective surroundings
in the microscope.

lengths of miniature coaxial cable.
As was described in Part Four, the pedal inputs are
taken from pins 31 and 32 of one of the pedal sockets,
so lengths of coaxial cable can be taken from the pedal
socket chosen. The accompanying photograph to
Fig. 4.1 shows these cables clearly.
With these terminated at the pedal pre -amplifiers it
remains to earth their screens. This is done at the
pedal sockets by baring the coaxial braid and soldering a
common wire connection to a simple aluminium sur-
round seen in the photograph of the pedal resistor
boards in Part Four. 'This screens the pedal plugs
and resistor boards from extraneous field influences.
With the stop switches wired, it only remains to loop
in the supply lines from the pre -amplifier board. Now,
since the negative supply line is finally grounded, this
should be connected to the aluminium of the voice box;
suitable connection will be found at the screwed ter-
minals of the choke tag strips.

has been followed.
If the supply is now switched on and the middle key-

to check the stops and output levels. This method
should be followed for both keyboards and at the same
time the action of the swell pedals can be examined.
If all is well, the solo and accompaniment tone box
assemblies can be fixed with binder screws. It is
important that no screw should come in contact with
active circuitry and in this connection reference should
be made to the relative underboard wiring diagram

 ASOLID state flashing indicator for a car can be con-
structed for relatively low cost and has several
advantages over the standard electro-mechanical type.
As transistor switching is employed there are no moving
parts that can wear out; the flash or pulse repetition
frequency (p.r.f.) can be set to within the legal limits
of 90 ± 30 flashes/minute and does not vary with time
or load; the on/off time ratio can be pre-set and does
not alter if a lamp fails or additional lamps are flashed,
for example, when towing a caravan.
Further improvements incorporated in this circuit
are an internal warning of flasher lamp failure, without
affecting the operation of the remaining lamps, and the
inclusioh of an audio bleeper as an alternative, or addi-
tional warning system if preferred. The design is
illustrated for positive 12V car battery systems, but
can be modified for negative earth systems (see later).
TRANSISTOR TIME SWITCH
A simple two wire flasher circuit for flashing any low
power indicator lamp from 6 to 24V is shown in Fig. 1.
When the circuit is switched on, practically the full
battery voltage appears across TR1 bias chain but the Fig. I. Circuit diagram of a simple lamp flasher
transistor is held off until the capacitor Cl charges up
through R4 and the lamp causing TR1 to conduct.
The resulting collector current of TR1 is then amplified
by complementary transistor TR2, increasing the lamp lamp as well as the transistor but it requires a supply

As the emitter voltage of TR1 is held by the voltage
across Cl, the bias of TR1 is increased causing a COMPLETE BLEEPING FLASHER
further increase of collector current. This action is The final circuit (Fig. 2) is developed from the above
cumulative, producing a rapid switching action which by adding a power transistor TR3 and an indicator
saturates TRI and TR2, holding the lamp on until Cl switching transistor TR4. The 0.25W resistor in
discharges through TRI, R3, and the base emitter series with TR3 provides enough bias to switch the
junction of TR2. When the capacitor discharge indicator lamp on via TR4 when two 20 watt flasher

The "off" time of the lamp depends on the charging circuit in Fig. 1 can be used as a "bleeper" by changing

Quartz Oscillator Wristwatch
IN SPITE of improved timekeeping in modern wrist watches,
I the Longines company of Switzerland have developed an
electronic watch, called the "Ultra Quartz", which is
claimed to maintain an accuracy of one tenth of a second
per day or less than one minute per year.
It uses a quartz crystal oscillator to control the speed of a
vibrating motor by comparison with actual motor speed.
The quartz resonator operates at a frequency of 8,192Hz
while the vibrant motor oscillator runs at a much lower
frequency, 170Hz. The difference signal detected by the
comparator is used to stabilise the motor speed.

 TAPE STOP -FOIL DEVICE

COME years ago, I decided to build a stop -foil device

for my tape recorder, and not wanting the machine
to draw any current, even the small amount needed to
hold the relay down, I devised a latching relay using a
small permanent magnet. The applied voltage is
derived from the tape recorder 6.3V heater supply, and
is rectified and smoothed by DI and Cl before it is
connected to the relay, Fig. 1.
The relay used is a Keyswitch subminiature, type
1051, having a 6V 120 ohm coil, and single -pole
changeover contacts rated at 250V 5A continuous load.
The diagram in Fig. 2 shows the positioning of the
permanent magnet glued to the top of the armature.
The foil contacts are arranged as shown in Fig. 3, and
only about an inch of foil is actually required.
The permanent magnet has to be mounted so that the
polarity of the electromagnet on the relay is opposite to
the bottom end of the magnet glued to the armature.
Once the relay has been triggered the relay is then held
on by the attraction of the permanent magnet, even
though the supply voltage has been removed.
Any small type of magnet will suffice, and the beauty
of the device is that it effectively turns the whole
UNLIMITED:
A selection of readers' suggested circuits. It should be emphasised that
these designs have not been proven by us. They will at any rate stimulate
machine off. The relay is reset manually by pushing a
lever connected to the armature as shown in Fig. 2,
although an electrical reset is also possible.

inhibit their operation.
When the input is at OV (logical 0 in positive logic
system) the lamp is off. When the input is at 3V or so
(logical 1) the lamp is on.
