  • Page 4 Q1 conducting to saturation and turning off Q2. The circuit then reaches its second inactive (quiescent) condition. Capacitor C1 having pre- viously been charged, now discharges at a time constant determined by the value of C10 and control R11. As long as the key lever is held in the dot position, the dot generator multivibra- tor continues to run free.
  • Page 5 A positive pulse on the base of Q5 will turn it off, causing its collector current to decrease and its collector voltage to become more nega- tive. This increase in negative voltage at the collector of Q5 is coupled through resistor R51 to the base of Q4 to turn it on.
