How to Build the All-American "COn
slant b. Plate Supply Unit. Part V.

The soldering lug on the "a" ter
minal of choke coil should bend
downward and over TO the 'P' termi-
nal lug of socket 8. The lug on the
"B" terminal of choke coil should
bend downward toward hole a.
There should be two soldering lugs on
the "A" terminal of choke coil 16.
One of them should be bent downward
toward hole "a while the other
should stick out as shown by the
heavy black line.
The soldering lug on the 'B' terml-
nal of choke coil 16 should be bent as
shown. The lugs on the "A" and "C'
terminals of transformer IA should be
bent down and toward the lugS on
the minus and plus terminals, respec-
lively. Of socket 9, 50 as to make an
easy soldering connection between the
transformer terminals and the socket
terminals.
Two Soldering Lugs Needed
There should he two soldering lugs
on the "B" terminal Of the trans
former. One should be bent down to-
wand hole &C" while the other should
be bent up and toward the center of
the panel. as shown in Fig. 3.
The holes in the panel through
which wires are passed in making con-
neCtions from terminals on one side of
the panel to terminals on the other
side of the panel have been made con-
spicuous by being blackened. These
holes are marked by lower case or
small" letters to distinguish them
from terminal markings. In the drill
ing template these have been located
accurately below the terminals Of the
choke coils and transformer. but in
the shaded line drawing their posi-
tons have been shifted slightly so as
To bring them into view.
Intimations to Builder.
II YOU follow the description of the
wiring connections given in the follow
ing paragraphs You will have no diff
Guilty in wiring the unit without miss
ing connections or making wrong
ones. DO not take il for granted that
YOU know how To connect terminals
tcgether from the wiring diagram.
The safest. surest and best way is TO
follow the wiring instructions step by
step.
In wiring. first read each wiring di
; rection carefully To be sure that YOU
understand. thoroughly the terminals
which arc to he connected together.
Trace them out on the layout dia-
gram read the directions again and
finally make the connections called
fer. After YOU have made the Connec
ton underline the part of the wiring
instructions which have been followed
out by making the connections called
for. check over the connection again
to be sure YOU have made it properly
and then pass on to the next ConneC
ton. If you disregard these precau-
tions YOU may later spend more TINA
than YOU have saved III trying to fnd
out where YOU made Your mistake.
The first step in wiring the unit is
to connect together in turn thn "B'
terminal of condenser :. the "a" ter
minal of condenser S. the "A" termi-
nal of condenser 10. the "B" terminal
of condenser II. the B. terminal of
condenser 13 and the "A" terminal Of
condenser -. Now run q, connection
from this wire at a point between the
:" terminal of condenser 10 and the
"B" terminal Of condenser T. through
hole 'c' to the b terminal of trans
former II on the under side OF the
panel
Choke Coil Connection.
Next solder the lug from the "o"
terminal Of the socket No. 9. Fig. ,.
with the lug on the ~" terminal Of
choke coil ;.
Then connect the "B" terminal Of
condenser 10 with the positive plus ier-
minal Of socket 9. Next connect the
"A" terminal Of condenser II with the
negative minus terminal Of socket Q.
Now solder the luG from the ''B Pat
minus binding post 4 with the "B''
terminal lug Of the resister mounting
