General Notes

Note

Service magazine, Sep 1937, p. 581. Lafayette catalog number 69, p. 81. Uses a type 54-XH CRT. Vertical amplifier "has a gain of 450." No other specifications provided, The scope includes what DuMont called a "wave expanding feature." The following text is from a description in Service magazine, Sep 1937, p. 580. "The wave-expanding feature as incorporated in the latest DuMont 5-inch all purpose oscillograph, is valuable in the study of complex waves where it is desirable to spread a small portion of the wave for detailed study: It allows expansion. of waves of much higher frequency than the fundamental frequency of the sweep. Million cycle waves can be observed with good detail, and the return trace eliminator, a regular television principle, permits the waves to appear only on the forward linear portion of the sweep."
