He returned to the room with the two men and they looked at one another in frank astonishment. "Have you any idea what's happened, Crewe?" asked the colonel suspiciously. "No idea in the world," said Crewe. "But she went downstairs," said the colonel. "I heard the alarm click." "The alarm?" questioned Crewe. "I've got a buzzer under one of the treads of the stairs," said the colonel.
Their normal rate of vibration being much too slow for telegraphic purposes, I cut off the hammers to reduce the inertia, and so adjusted the contact screw that the armature had to move less than one hundredth of an inch to break the circuit. This gave so high a rate of vibration that the key could not make and break the circuit quickly enough to prevent the buzzer sounding.
The outgoing Headquarters are waiting for the magic words "Relief Complete!" Until that message comes over the buzzer, the period of tension endures. "Sit down and make yourselves comfortable," said A Brigade to X Brigade. X Brigade complied, and having been furnished with refreshment, led off with the inevitable question "Does one er get shelled much here?"
If you ask a high-caste Buzzer say, an R.E. Signalling Officer why this should be so, he will look intensely wise and recite some solemn gibberish about earthed wires and induced currents. The noises are of two kinds, and one supplements the other.
Am taking boat Newport to-night. Meet me. Ben. No one answered his buzzer, but presently a boy came in collecting copy, and Moreton said to him: "Here, get this sent, and ask Klein to come here. He's in the composing room." And presently Mr. Klein entered, in the characteristic dress of the newspaper man namely, shirt sleeves and a green shade over his eyes.
After you have made the adjustment open the switch and disconnect the buzzer wire from the ground wire of your set. This done, be very careful not to jar the detector or you will throw it out of adjustment and then you will have to do it all over again. You are now ready to tune the set with the tuning coil and listen in. The Tuning Coil.
We remember the day as if it were but yesterday; Puffington overtook us in Oxford Street, where we were taking our usual sauntering stare into the shop windows, and instead of shirking or slipping behind our back, he actually ran his arm up to the hilt in ours, and turned us into the middle of the flags, with an 'Ah, Buzzer, old boy, what are you doing in this debauched part of the town?
The clatter of a tin pail outside the door, the uncertain turning of a knob by a hand too small to grasp it: "I forgitted my lunch bucket, 'n had to come back five blocks. Good-by, Miss Kate." Another step, and a curly little red head pushes itself apologetically through the open door. "You never dave me back my string and buzzer, Miss Kate."
"For Goad's sake, kiss him, and say 'Good-Nicht, and hae done with it!" As already stated, Private Wamphray was returned to his platoon next morning. But to regard the Buzzer simply and solely as a troglodyte, of sedentary habits and caustic temperament, is not merely hopelessly wrong: it is grossly unjust. Sometimes he goes for a walk under some such circumstances as the following.
Evidently Drummond himself must have been listening. The door buzzer sounded and he stepped in, perhaps to bolster up his client in case he should be weakening. As he met Constance's eye he smiled superciliously and was about to speak. But she did not give him time even to say good evening.
