panel, one over the other, by 'means of five
machine screws. To interchange the dial scale
plates it is necessary to remove the five screws,
interchange the plates and then replace the
screws. Scales of frequency and dial divisions
are given in Section V.

The 400-kc scale is provided f or ex peri ment al

purposes in order to determine the feasibility
of operating on this channel width with this
type of equipment. For ordinary use it is recom­
mended that the 500-kc scale be employed.
