This is the first installment of what I will refer to as the Bingos
Basics`
Phil’s site is absolutely
great at laying out the story of how the Bingos operate ~
You want to know, it’s there`
Here, I will first go through the
schematics with you and then tie to two together – An overview`
So let’s start with the power rails that
operate everything in the Bingo`
All of the modules, replays, and motors are
powered by a few voltage buses ~ everything ~
and on most of the schematics
they are shown by sets of heavy, thicker,
lines you see bordering the top-and-bottom of each section of circuits
This makes the rails pretty easy to see
and identify, and really help provide a starting-point
to understand
the machines ~
Why there is a main transformer, a set of fuses, relay banks - etc`
Dixieland is one such example, where the
“bold lines” that indentify the power rails
really stand out`
Here is another view of the 50-volt
circuitry that is powered by (bracketed by) the 50-volt power lines`
Also known as …the “negative” and
“positive” rails
Also known as …the “-“
and “+” rails
…the 50-volt Bus
