manufactured by the Western Electric Company. In this the bridge of
the original White transmitter is dispensed with, the electrode chamber being supported by a pressed metal cup _1_, which supports the chamber as a whole. The electrode cup, instead of being made of a solid block as in the White instrument, is composed of two portions, a cylindrical or tubular portion _2_ and a back _3_. The cylindrical portion is externally screw-threaded so as to engage an internal screw thread in a flanged opening in the center of the cup _1_. By this means the electrode chamber is held in place in the cup _1_, and by the same means the mica washer _4_ is clamped between the flange in this opening and the tubular portion _2_ of the electrode chamber. The front electrode is carried, as in the White transmitter, on the mica washer and is rigidly attached to the center of the diaphragm so as to partake of the movement thereof. It will be seen, therefore, that this is essentially a White transmitter, but with a modified mounting for the electrode chamber. A feature in this transmitter that is not found in the White transmitter is that both the front and the rear electrodes, in fact, the entire working portions of the transmitter, are insulated from the exposed metal parts of the instrument. This is accomplished by insulating the diaphragm and the supporting cup _1_ from the transmitter front. The terminal _5_ on the cup _1_ forms the electrical connection for the rear electrode, while the terminal _6_, which is mounted _on_ but insulated _from_ the cup _1_ and is connected with the front electrode by a thin flexible connecting strip, forms the electrical connection for the front electrode.
