(S.B. 49879.—24.1.1945.) 1. Models of Rebecca, Mk. IT, transmitter receiver, type T.R. 3173A (Stores Ref, 10DB/6022), having serial numbers between 201 and 400, may employ switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10F 5/6007), which has given rise to a certain amount of interference. Bulk ‘production models of transmitter receiver, type T.R. 3173A (Stores Ref. 10D B/6022), include switch unit, type 115 (Stores Ref. 10FB/556) which, though similar in operation, employs greater screening and more efficient filter circuits. 2. Units holding any transmitter receiver, type T.R. 3173A (Stores Ref. 10DB/6022), of the above serial numbers, should therefore determine which switch unit is fitted, and if it is switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10F/6007), should arrange to replace it by switch unit, type 115 (Stores Ref. 10FB/556). 3. The item required for this modification is as shown below, and is to be demanded from the appropriate maintenance unit — Stoves Ref. Nomenclature Quantity 10FB/556 Switch unit, type 115 1 4. The procedure for effecting the modification is as detailed in this paragraph :— (i) Locate the feeder carrying the switch input to the receiving unit, type 61A (Stores Ref. 10PB/6004). Unscrew the clamp securing this to the rear of the front panel, and dis- connect the feeder at the end remote from the switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10FB/6007). (ii) Unscrew the four screws securing the switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref, 10FB/6007), to the front panel of the equipment and remove the switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10FB/6007), bodily from the chassis assembly, ensuring not to’ damage the OFF—ON relay. Nole.—It is desirable that the transmitter unit be unscrewed from the chassis before attempting to remove the switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10FB/6007). (iii) Remove the screening cover from the switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10FB/6007) Unsolder the inner conductor of the cable from the centre contact and unscrew the clamping ring. The length of feeder may then be withdrawn. Note,—Care should be taken in the unsoldering operation, as much time will be saved by retaining the full length of the inner conductor. (iv) Remove the screening cover from the switch unit, type 115 (Stores Ref. 10FB/556), and ensuring to avoid damaging the spring contacts on the unit, connect the feeder to the centre contact in a manner similar to that in which it was connected to the switch unit, type 208 (Stores Ref. 10FB/6007). Screw up the clamping ring as tightly as possible and replace the screening cover on the switch unit, type 115 (Stores Ref. 10FB/556). (v) Lay the feeder along the same path as before, and position the switch unit, type 115, (Gtores Ref. 10FB/556), by the terminal block mounted at the bottom of the front panel. (vi) Arrange that the spring clips on the switch unit, type 115 (Stores Ref. 10FB/556), are ‘firmly positioned over the appropriate parts on’ the terminal block, and when this has ‘been done screw the switch unit, type 115 (Stores Ref. 10FB/556), to the front panels. (vii) Clamp the feeder in position, using the clamp previously removed, and connect the feeder ‘to the appropriate plug in the receiving unit, type 61A (Stores Ref. 10PB/6004). (viii) Action is required to be taken as indicated in A.M.O.

Leaflet 2 CD.0938 G, Leaflet 2 A.R.L5506, A.R15543, A.R.15594, Amplifying Unit, Type 178, (Stores Ref. 10UB/185). Modification to Improve Gain Control and Output Pulse Shape (S.B.49910,—3.2.45.) 1. thas been found in service that the gain control circuit as originally embodied in the Amplifying Unit, Typ 178, used in Transmitter Receives, type T.R3173A, (Stores Ref. 10DB/6022) bearing serial numbers 201 to 400 (inclusive) does not provide a smooth enough action at its lower end, and that the maximum gain available is greater than is operationally necessary. This modification has the twofold purpose of decreasing the maximum over-all gain, and providing a smoother action at low values of gain, "The alterations described in paras. 4())4(lii) improve the gain control, while those described in paras. 4(iv)-4(vi) improve the output pulse shape. 2. All Units holding Transmitter Receiver T.R.3173A bearing the above serial numbers in use or in store are to modify the Amplifying Unit, type 178, in accordance with this leaflet. All other trans mitter receivers will be modified before reaching the Service. 3. The following components are required for the modification and should be demanded from the appropriate maintenance units :— Nomenclacure Quantity Resistance, Type 726, (33K } watt +10 % in) 1 1OC/I1131 Condenser, Type 3367, (0.5 nF, 450 V. wkg.) a 4, Circuit references are to $,D.0338, Chapter 2, Fig. 8, and Drg.

HLT. line (tag 4 on the terminal Strip A). Disconnect this lead from the 420V. line and connect it instead to the 250V. line (tag 3 on the terminal Strip A). i) Locate the common junction point of R.3, R.11, R.17, which is connected by a lead to tag 5 on the terminal strip A. Disconnect R.17 and this lead from the junction, Connect one end of the 33K Resistance (Type 726 or 1799) to the junction of R.3 and R11, and the other end to the: junction of R.17 and the lead which goes to tag 5. (ii) Connect the Condenser, Type 3367 (0.5 » F.), between earth and the junction of R.3, R.11 and the 33K resistor. (iv) Remove the 0.01v F. condenser C.38 connected between the cathode of V.6 and earth. (w) Remove the lead which connects the junction of R.32, R.45 to tag 6 on the terminal strip A.
