diode CR 1 is non-conducting, as capacitor C32 dis­
charges, current flows through the meter and diode
CR2 to the generator. As capacitor C33 discharges,
current flows through CR2 to the generator.

POWER SUPPLY
The powQr supply circuits provide a high-voltage
regulated dc for the plate circuits of tubes VI to
V5 and a low-voltage unregulated dc for the filament
circuits of tubes VI to V4. The filament circuits of
vS
tubes V5 to
are supplied directly with 6. 3-volt
ac from windings in the secondary of power trans­
former T l .
