Adjustable counterweight ; the dial below is the anti-skating adjustment.

After perfectly balancing the arm, the dial itself is " zeroed "; the stylus force can then be dialed in by screwing the counterweight towards the fulcrum.

It is not necessary to have the physical card except with a stored-value system ; knowledge of the access telephone number to dial and the PIN is sufficient.

Regardless of the type of card it is necessary to dial an access telephone number to connect to the calling card system.

The rotary dial is a device mounted on or in a telephone or switchboard that is designed to send electrical pulses, known as pulse dialing, corresponding to the number dialed.

The dial, also called the finger wheel, is circular.

The dial is mounted via a shaft extending from inside the telephone and sits approximately above a faceplate.

The 1 is normally set at approximately 60 degrees clockwise from the uppermost point of the dial, or approximately at the 2 o ' clock position, and then the numbers progress counterclockwise, with the 0 being at about 5 o ' clock.

Typically a 10 pulses per second dial is used into a classic Strowger Exchange and a 20 pps dial would be used into a Crossbar or Electronic exchange where line lengths were reasonable and the receiving register was not limited by classical telephone relays, even with the isthmus armature.

The rotary dial governor is subject to wear and ageing, and may require periodic cleaning, lubrication and adjustment by a telephone technician.

In this setting, there is no section of the rotating dial plate without holes, allowing a smaller dial diameter.

All modern telephones have a microphone to speak into, an earphone ( or ' speaker ') which reproduces the voice of the other person, a ringer which makes a sound to alert the owner when a call is coming in, and a keypad ( or on older phones a telephone dial ) to enter the telephone number of the telephone to be called.

The native mode of communication for a teleprinter is a simple series DC circuit that is interrupted, much as a rotary dial interrupts a telephone signal.

In the computer hacking scene of the 1980s, demon dialing was a technique by which a computer is used to repeatedly dial a number ( usually to a crowded modem pool ) in an attempt to gain access immediately after another user had hung up.

Other owned-and-operated stations were KNX Los Angeles, KCBS San Francisco ( originally KQW ), WBBM Chicago, WCAU Philadelphia, WJSV Washington, D. C.

In telecommunication, an automatic redial is a service feature that allows the user to dial, by depressing a single key or a few keys, the most recent telephone number dialed at that instrument.

Pulse dialing, dial pulse, or loop disconnect dialing, also called rotary or decadic dialling in the United Kingdom ( because up to 10 pulses are sent ), is pulsing in which a direct-current pulse train is produced by interrupting a steady signal according to a fixed or formatted code for each digit and at a standard pulse repetition rate.

This was a dial mounted on the fan which, when turned in either direction, continuously varied the speed at which the blades rotated — similar to a dimmer switch for a light fixture.

This type of locking mechanism consists of a single dial which must be rotated left and right in a certain combination in order to open the lock.

Once all discs and the dial are rotating together, the dial is rotated until the last disc is in place and the notch is in the proper positioning, then by rotating the dial in the other direction, the catches will all disconnect, starting from the dial to the first disc and so on until they connect from the other side and the discs begin to rotate together by the same method but in the opposite direction.

The most complex internal part was the rotary dial mechanism, an assembly of gears, cams, springs, and electrical contacts which electromechanically generated a timed train of line loop-break pulses when the dial finger plate was rotated and released.

Previous screw mount Leicas used two separate shutter speed dials for slow and fast speeds ( the fast speed dial on top of the camera rotated during firing ).

This may be implemented in different ways, often by pressing one button before making a call ; some telephones support " chain dialing ", allowing additional numbers to be dialed when on a call ( e. g., dial a PIN and a second number after connecting to an access number ).

To cancel auto call back before it rings, press " ITCM ", dial "# 6 " and hang up.

On the FM side of the dial, WKPL FM 92. 1, an oldies station, was licensed in New Castle before its license was moved to Ellwood City in 2004, though it still includes New Castle as one of its local communities as part of its FCC-mandated station identification.

Gach from WGR as the afternoon drive show and established syndicated hot talkers The Howard Stern Show ( by this time now almost exclusively on the FM dial ), G. Gordon Liddy, Laura Schlessinger, The Fabulous Sports Babe, Tom Leykis and ( briefly, before Gach's arrival ) Don and Mike.

In the past, before the adoption of the PreciseTone system, busy signal was generally composed of the same tone as dial tone in the central office in question, interrupted at the same rate.

Customers who remained with Telstra could dial the override code of 1456 before the area code and phone number to manually select Optus as the carrier for that single call.

Frightened and in a state of panic, Junior runs upstairs, hiding away in his bedroom closet while Tony struggles to dial 9-1-1 before losing consciousness.

Hammond had been stationed as a Lieutenant at the Cheyenne Mountain complex ( the present-day location of Stargate Command ) in 1969, Hammond's mentioned relatives include his wife, who had died of cancer four years before the events of the series began, and his granddaughters named Kayla and Tessa ( whose telephone number occupies Hammond's first speed dial button ; the number for the President of the United States presumably occupies the second ).

For example, in Montreal, Quebec, where area codes 514 and 450 are currently in use, users dial 10-digit number ( e. g. 514 555 1234 ), dialing a 1 before this results in a recording advising not to dial a 1 as it is a local call.

For example, to call Oslo in Norway before 1992, one would dial:

It broadcast at 88. 1 on the FM dial before moving, in 1982, to 95. 5.

With it, he merges with The Master — and transforms into Robby Reed, who explains that years before, he had used the dial to split in two ( dialing " S P L I T ") so that he could disarm a dead man's switch, while his other self, the Wizard, defeated the villain who set it.

Also if it is that any time machine made will allow only one way travel, i. e. into the future, or if it is that we can go into the future, but while returning, we can only return to the present ( i. e. not set the dial to go back more than we used to go into the future, or before the time machine is invented ), this theory fails.

The phone system requires the caller to dial a " 1 " before the area code and number, to indicate to the phone system that the call will require a connection to another area, as trunk prefix.

Traditionally, calling from one area code to another, specifically for long distance calls, requires the caller to dial the trunk digit " 1 " before the code and number.

It is possible to make a long distance call within the same area code ; in this case the caller has to dial a " 1 " before the local 7-digit number.

Area codes ending in 1-0 were not possible, but this changed in the early 1990s after it became a requirement to dial a " 1 " before the area code to signal a long distance call.
