18 PAGES OF including TELEVISION DATA COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY ILLUSTRATED on28 WITH CHARTS, RADIO FORMULAE, DIFFERENT SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT MODELS DIAGRAMS, PICTORIAL WIRING by DIAGRAMS / PRICE50CENTS 1 FOREWORD This new issue of the Meissner Instruction Manual is dedicated to the Radio Amateur, Serviceman and Experimenter. The subject matter will be found to contain a wide variety of interest to anyone interested in the Radio art from whatever angle. Complete constructional data is herewith presented on the entire 1939-1940 line of Meissner kit receivers. This information includes the detailed Pictorial Wiring Diagram, in addition to the regular Schematic Circuit Diagram, which makes Meissner kits so easy and simple to con- struct. In addition to complete information on receiver kits, there is pre- sented technical data, diagrams and operating instructions on the sev- eral ready -wired units which were introduced in the 1939-40 line. These include such items as the new DeLuxe Signal Shifter, Signal Calibrator, Signal Booster and the MC 28-56 Converter. All of the material presented is not new. Some previously published material has been reproduced in order to make the book complete and self-sufficient. Not only, however, have new kits and wired instruments been included, but many pages of entirely new informative material and charts have been added. The treatise on "Television in Theory and Practice" will be found to provide excellent coverage of a comparative- ly complex subject in a simple and understandable manner. This article, in connection with the constructional information on the Meissner Television Receiver, will provide a practical education on the present stage of the art. 2 MEISSNER INSTRUCTION MANUAL THE RADIO -FREQUENCYSPECTRUM This chart will enable the radio listener to determine the frequency chan- nels to which he must tune when looking for reception inany of the classified services listed at the bottom of the page. 6.0 8.0 5.0 10 4.0 0611111111111111111111111MLN*4 3.0 ce*. --..kt-4Aitill1[1111111L-4/04". 15 MC MC % 01111111111111*/* s,4''Or '101111. 4-4' 0 20 2.0 30 1.5 MEISSNER CHANNEL SPOTTER 40 1.0 Radio -Frequency Allocations 50 500 60 200 80 Itt 100 IN0W1winoIIII iiiitittA0 00 KC -momWASSON%$, M C 50 1000 150 20 1 0110Illetti%200 10 300 1 TELEVISION 6SHIP AND COASTAL 2 EXPERIMENTAL 7AIRPORT AND AVIATION 3POINT-TO-POINT 8STATE & LOCAL POLICE 4GOVERNMENT 9AMATEUR COMMUNICATION 5NEWS & PRESS 10U.
