CRANKING THE HANDLE WOULD PRODUCE A ROUGH 20+ VOLTS, LOW AMPERAGE. THE UNEVEN VOLTAGE WAS USEFUL IN THAT WHEN IT ACTIVATED THE ELECTRIC MAGNETS AT THE RECORDING STATION, IT WOULD HELP RELEASE THE PIN FROM THE PAPER DIAL AND RETURN IT TO THE START POSITION. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="1cfac3c0.jpg" border=0 width="428" height="572" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
