    The extension also had inductors at the far end, such that each part of the antenna had inductors at its ends. In 1925, the two parts of the antenna were split, each now operating separately (the original as callsign MUU, the 1924 antenna as GLC), a new feed taken up the mountain from the western transmitter buildings to the site of the double ATI.

  3. Antenna rotator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_rotator

    An antenna rotator (or antenna rotor) is a device used to change the orientation, within the horizontal plane, of a directional antenna. Most antenna rotators have two parts, the rotator unit and the controller. The controller is normally placed near the equipment which the antenna is connected to, while the rotator is mounted on the antenna ...

    This is because wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency (wavelength in metres = 299,792,458 / frequency in Hz), and transmitter efficiency is severely degraded if the length of the antenna is shorter than 1/4 wavelength. They used grounded or insulated guyed masts with umbrella antennas, or wire-spans across both valleys and fjords.

    Borg-Warner R-11 overdrive - 3-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive Ford used them up until 1975 in trucks. Borg-Warner T-50 transmission — 5-speed longitudinal manual - used by GM in its RWD H-Body cars and a few other limited light duty applications from 1976 to 1978;

  6. Antenna feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_feed

    The antenna feed system or antenna feed is the cable or conductor, and other associated equipment, which connects the transmitter or receiver with the antenna and makes the two devices compatible. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In a radio transmitter, the transmitter generates an alternating current of radio frequency , and the feed system feeds the current to ...

  7. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...

  8. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    This means that a receiving antenna "sees" an image of the emitting antenna but with 'reversed' currents (opposite in direction and phase) if the emitting antenna is horizontally oriented (and thus horizontally polarized). However, the received current will be in the same absolute direction and phase if the emitting antenna is vertically polarized.

    [23] [17]: p.19, 260, 331–332 [25] The two sides of the antenna were connected to an induction coil (Ruhmkorff coil) (T) a common lab power source which produced pulses of high voltage, 5 to 30 kV. In addition to radiating the waves, the antenna also acted as a harmonic oscillator ( resonator ) which generated the oscillating currents.
