Switch
The

on
both
channels
by
means
of
two
switches
which
short
circuit
the
pickup

during
the
time
the

Auto
Trip
The
auto
trip
is
of
patented
design,
being
extremely
light
and
sensitive
in
operation.
A
special
feature
is
that
the
trip
is
completely
disconnected
from
the
pickup
arm
at
the
commencement
of
the
trip
operation.
It
is
the
well
proved
velocity
type
which
is
actuated
by
the
accelerated
movement
of
the
pickup
as
it
reaches
the
run
out
groove
in
the
centre
of
the
record.
It
is
set
to
commence
operation
when
the
stylus
reaches
a
radius
of
24”
from
the
centre.
Should
the
trip
fail
to
operate,
leaving
the
pickup
running
in
the
centre
of
a
record,
remove
the
turntable
as
described
on
page
five
and
adjust
the
height
of
the
auto
trip
operating
lever.
Give
the
adjusting
screw
for
height
of
operating
lever,
diagram
two,
about
a
half
turn
in
a
clockwise
direction
to
raise
the
lever.
This
will
enable
it
to
engage
the
cam
on
the
striker,
as
the
pickup
movement
accelerates.
Also
check
that
the
auto
trip
friction
plate,
diagram
two,
is
clean
and
free
from
oil
and
dust.
