drums are driven by motors running at the same speed.
Caution: The motor of Facsimile Transceiver TT-1D/TXC-1,
TT-1E/TXC-1, or TT-1F/TXC-1 is at synchronous speed only when
the 1,800-cycle tone can be heard from the motor laminations.

This control is operated only by the transmitting operator, although
the setting he makes is determined partially by the request of the re-
ceiving operator. The dial on this control is numbered from 1 to 100,
and the ranges for transmitting positive and negative are indicated.

CONTRAST controls. It is calibrated in db with reference to 0 power
level of 6 mw in 600 ohms. Line power levels are commonly expressed
in terms of dbm, decibels with reference to 0 power level of 1 mw in 600
ohms. The DB METER on this equipment does not register the true
line signal level in either db or dbm. When the facsimile transceiver
selector switch is at TRANSMIT and the DB METER indicates plus
2 db, the resultant power dissipated in a 600-ohm resistive load con-
nected across the LINE binding posts is 1 mw (.78 volt), representing
the standard 0 dbm reference. When the facsimile transceiver is re-
ceiving, there is no fixed relationship between line power and db power
and DB METER reading, because meter readings depend on the setting
of the GAIN control. In paragraph 5, input and output signal levels
for the transceiver are expressed in true line dbm. Elsewhere in this
manual, however, the term db is used merely to express the relative
level readings of the DB METER, not to indicate line levels in dbm.
Used for setting the transmitting contrast (wedge) range.
This meter may be temporarily disconnected from the circuit, and may be
used to measure dbm (at 0 dbm =1 mw into 600 ohms) directly, provid-
ing 8 db is added to the meter reading when so used.
