Note: TM is in the present position when used with wheels which are deltaed by
Colossus ( as it usually will be) compared to patterns not deltaed by Colossus it
is TMoneback, i.e. TM one back [cf. differencing 53E].
53K PLUG PANEL (Fig 58(xv))
(a) The Jacks
The jacks in this panel are essentially of four kinds:
1. Jacks carrying streams, ( including some combined streams.
2. Addition Field;
3. Common Jacks:
4. Jacks carrying input to counters.
Streams may be plugged into counters, either directly or via the
addition field and common jacks. To plug anything into a counter is to equate it
to a dot.
(b) Jacks carrying streams are described in paragraphs (c) to (h)
(c) Q Jacks
The whole top row of jacks is really a dependency of the Q panel. Q1,
Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 are the five impulses switched into Q by the selection switches,
R1, R2, R3,R4, R5 are the present and remembered items of Qm when Qm is on
multiple test. All these have two jacks each.
(d) Z, X, PSI ,
Each impulse of Z, X , PSI , has two jacks, one deltaed and one
undeltaed.
(e) Special Patterns
X1 , X2 , X3 , X4 , X5 , Mu41 , Mu37 , have each one each one jack for
the pattern set up, independently of the ordinary pattern in use, in the special
trigger.
These are derived from ordinary patterns. If used with streams
eltaed by Colossus they are in the present position. If used with streams not
deltaed by Colossus they are one back, as labelled [cf. 53E]
(g) Not 99
This is used to inhibit counting at doubtful letters of cipher
replaced by Z = 9. Such 9's rarely occur singly. Genuine 9's usually do occur
singly. It is therefore only imposed at a 9 adjacent to another 9: at such places
this jack carries a cross, elsewhere a dot.
Note: Not 99 is intended for use with a Z pattern which is deltaed by Colossus and
therefore, since delta Z is rubbish if
