"Bull-roarer" is just one of our local names for what survives now-a-days as a toy in many an old-fashioned corner of the British Isles, where it is also known as boomer, buzzer, whizzer, swish, and so on. Without going farther afield we can get a hint of the two main functions which it seems to have fulfilled amongst ruder peoples.
"As a scientist," he replied deliberately, "the theory, of course, does appeal to me, especially in the ingenious way in which that writer applied it. However, as a detective" he shook his head slowly "I must deal with facts not speculations. It leaves much to be explained, to say the least," Just then the door buzzer sounded and Carton himself sprang to answer it. "That's Mrs.
Suddenly a buzzer sounded, and on Steve Strong's desk a small teleceiver screen glowed into life. Gradually the stern face of Commander Walters emerged. "Sorry to disturb you, Steve. Can you spare me a minute?" "Of course, Commander," replied Strong. "Is anything wrong?" "Very wrong, Steve. I've been looking over the daily performance reports on Unit 42-D." "Dr.
I chased a whole row of things one after another battery, buzzer, oil or gasoline in the cylinders, defective insulation, commutator, water in the carburettor, choked feed-pipe, and all it did was to cough in a dreary, tow-me-home-to-mother sort of way, "If the captain had known anything about engines and could have made it start, I expect I would have married him and lived happy ever afterward.
It was the freakish voice of a nickum which answered. "No! No buzzer, as the boys say, but there was a rattler, in there, beside that rock. If some of you girls had gone ahead, you'd have stepped right on him!" "A 'rattler! A big rattlesnake! And and you started the cry, to get us out quietly quickly!" "Not we! The Scoutmaster had the presence of mind to launch an aëroplane.
The day had begun for the T. A. Buck Featherloom Petticoat Company. The psychology of that is interesting. Hortense knew that by nine-thirty Mrs. McChesney's desk would be clear and that the buzzer would summon her.
Well, it's come! Uh-huh! And sudden, too, like I knew it would, if it came at all. No climbin' the ladder for me, not while they run express elevators. And, believe me, when the gate opened, I was right there with my foot out. It was like this: One mornin' I'm in my old place behind the brass rail, at the jump-end of the buzzer.
"Well, then, why should they hand you anything but the buzzer? If this is a good stunt don't you suppose they'd keep it at home? Don't you suppose that Stone could go out and get half the money in this town, if he wanted it, to put behind a deal that was worth ten per cent. a year and pickings? I don't care what your lawyer or what Johnson says about it, I know the men.
The operation of key circuits of the latter kind will be described presently. The Operation of C. W. Telegraph Transmitters with Alternating Current With a Single Oscillator Tube. Where an oscillator tube telegraph transmitter is operated by a 110 volt alternating current as the initial source of energy, a buzzer, chopper or other interruptor is not needed in the key circuit.
