The Siemens polarized relay, shown in fig.

You know how hard it is to track down everyone one-by-one to relay orders?

Incoming currents pass from line through one coil of the relay, the key, and either the battery or battery resistance, according as whether the key is raised or depressed.

When the relay is operated it connects a bell between one of the wires of the circuit and earth, while the bell itself is arranged to respond to current pulsations in one direction only.

The coils of the electromagnets are differentially wound with silk-covered wire, 4 mils (= 004 inch) in diameter, to a total resistance of 400 ohms. This differential winding enables the instrument to be used for " duplex " working, but the connexions of the wires to the terminal screws are such that the relay can be used for ordinary single working.

B, indicating whether a station is calling, in case the relay sticks or is out of adjustment.

The arrangement at a station worked by relay on the " single-current " system is shown in fig.

Among them were grooms leading the Tsar's beautiful relay horses covered with embroidered cloths.

Now if the values of the rheostat and condenser are adjusted so as to make the rise and fall of the outgoing current through both windings of the relay exactly equal, then no effect is produced on the armature of the relay, as the two currents neutralize each other's magnetizing effect.

Don't ask your child to relay messages between you and your former spouse.

The relay itself served to actuate a Morse printing telegraph by means of a local battery.

The result is that the armature of the relay is attracted, and currents are sent through the sounder from the local battery, producing the signals from the distant station.

In series with the tube is placed a single voltaic cell and a telegraphic relay, and Marconi added certain coils placed across the spark contacts of the relay to prevent the local sparks affecting the coherer.

The first team to complete the relay wins.

In addition he added certain spark-generating coils across the contacts of the relay and tapper.

The baton relay has been the traditional opener of the Commonwealth games, to be held in Manchester this year, since the 1970s.

Although the relay is a polarized " one, so that it can be used for " double-current " working, it is equally suitable for " single-current " purposes, as the tongue can be given a bias over to the " spacing " side, i.e.

Create a list of games, like sack races, tug-of-war, egg toss, relay races, and more.

Nerves are stimulated in the inner ear, which then relay the sound signals to the brain.

These include Martiza Correia, the first African-American woman to compete on the U.S. Olympic team, where she won a silver medal in the 400 meter free relay.

The current thus sent to the line may be made either to act directly on the printing instrument or to close a local circuit by means of a relay.

Organizing your own Relay for Life is a tremendous achievement.

Fast camera changes relay the frenzy of battle and close-ups reveal the brutality of it.

Worked double current - that is, with the tongue set neutral, having no bias either to the spacing or marking side - the relay will give good signals with 12 milliampere of current, though in practice 10 milliamperes are provided.

Should the rotating arms fail to pass over these correcting segments at their synchronous positions, correcting currents pass to a relay which cuts off momentarily the current actuating the tuning-fork, thereby altering the rate of vibration of the latter until the arms once more run together uniformly.

The great reduction in friction and in electrical resistance of the contact thus effected between the recurved end of the arm and the rotating surface secures the transmission of signals at such a high rate of speed that the combination of this relay with a special form of curb sender allows of the re-transmission of signals into a second cable at a speed not less than that of the siphon recorder worked in the usual way.

The special form of curb sender mentioned, termed the " Interpolator," has been devised so as to secure the correct re-transmission of any given number of consecutive elements of a letter which are of the same sign, for when signals are received at the end of a long cable the relay arm will not return to its zero position between consecutive elements of the same sign, but will remain on the respective contact surface during the whole time occupied by such consecutive elements.

The callingdrop of the magneto system was displaced by a relay and a small electric incandescent lamp, and whereas in the older system the calling-drop and the answering jack with which it was associated were some distance apart, the calling-lamp and the answering jack of the newer system were placed in juxtaposition.

Moreover the clearing-out drop of the cord circuit was replaced by an arrangement which included the provision of one signal to be controlled through the agency of a relay by the calling subscriber, and another to be controlled by the person wanted.

They can be used for driving relay coils also.

The " FUN DAY " will consist of a 4 person relay race within the grounds of the school.

Foster also provided fourth-place points in the triple jump before ending a productive day in the winning effort of the sprint relay quartet.

Set top aerials gave little trouble - probably due to the proximity of the relay transmitter.
