A barometric switch can be installed that will act at a certain altitude, or a signal can be sent from the ground." "The antenna," Scotty said. "It can send a signal." "Sure." "I'm with you all the way, until you say this shows why the stingarees fly. Why send up rockoons? What's the reason?" Rick forgot he was holding a coffee cup and waved his hand.
There are also compact radio sets to be had that can be carried on mule-back and set up and taken down on a hurried army march. On shipboard the ordinary masts of the vessel serve, of course, to support the antenna." "Thank you, Bob. That is exactly what I wanted to know," said Mr. Crowninshield. "I'm glad, sir.
'Facts and Arguments for Darwin, English translat., 1869, p. 20. See the previous discussion on the olfactory threads. Labelled are: a. Part of right anterior antenna of male, forming a prehensile organ. b. Posterior pair of thoracic legs of male. c.
He pulled out a length of wire and started working on one end of it. "If they guess we got a car," he observed, "they'll expect us to run into a road block beam that would wreck the car and paralyze us. I'm taking a small precaution against that. Here." He put the wire's end into her hand. "It's the lead-in from this car's radio antenna.
In 1935 George and his father Costas built a one-valve transmitter using a type 59 pentode with suppressor grid modulation, and succeeded in contacting most of the world with this QRP rig. The electron coupled oscillator could not have put more than 4 or 5 watts into the antenna.
"They press against strips inside the rocket casing. The whole assembly acts as a dipole antenna." No one commented. Cobb took a tiny screwdriver and removed two screws from a metal plate in the bottom of the nose cone. The screws were long ones, holding the entire nose assembly in place.

"Remington," he said, "has given us the data for a movement, a really possible movement.
It can be fastened inside or outside the station, as is most convenient; but it is compulsory to have it to satisfy the insurance companies. The antenna is secured to it and by means of a ground wire any electrical discharges will in a great measure pass off through the earth."
