When the detector is properly adjusted you will be able to hear the buzz quite distinctly in the head phones if the buzzer is not too far away. The actual adjustment of the detector is rather a delicate job, and once it is in the proper position it is a good plan to avoid jarring it, as it is liable to get out of adjustment very easily.
"I am quite sure," was the steady answer. A seemingly endless silence followed Marjorie's reply. The principal surveyed the trio searchingly. "What girls comprise the freshman team?"

A buzzer hissed.
Ten cents an hour off for each demerit." Walter sighed and shuffled back to his desk. Oh, well. It could have been worse. They might have fired him like poor Cartwright last month.

Anthony sprang up and lifted the tube to his ear.
Ought to be shanghaied to the Khiftan Sector and sold to the priests of Fasif! A buzzer sounded, and for an instant he thought it would be the message he had seen Hasthor Fan recording. Then he realized that it was the buzzer for the private door, which could only be operated by someone with a special identity sign. He pressed a button and unlocked the door.
