The only line, however, which needs our attention is that duplicate sequence of cables, given on the accompanying map, owned by the West India and Panama Company, and running from Jamaica right through our British Islands to Demerara on the South American continent. To confine attention to the East Coast, this line, so far as regards the portion between Zanzibar and Durban, was gradually duplicated. The going astray of the Colorado River, and the trouble incidental thereto, which was described in The Popular Science Monthly some months ago, has occasioned much study and deep concern by engineers all over the country, and has attracted the attention of the heads of two governments-the United States and Mexico. One odd and concerning thing I did discover was that I also found in the thrift store the Crown-branded AC adapter that was supposedly donated with this player; the ratings matched, but upon testing it with it plugged in (because the power jack was too small to do so independently with my multimeter) that instead of putting out the rated and required 4.5V, it was producing 7V. I was concerned that this over voltage (the player can also run off 2 x AA batteries which would be no more than 3V) would have caused damage.

Once is was all snugly closed up, for a finished touch I used a Dymo Label maker to make a 32-BIT label to stick over the hole where the old controller wire used to be. I preserved the plug and play nature of the console and the LED and power button work more or less as they should, but I couldn't get the old controller wired up to the Pi Zero. I did nearly end up using DMX for my under-cabinet lighting but ultimately saw sense and stuck to a protocol that is even more unfamiliar to the average consumer, what is control cable Z-Wave. The casing prevents the cable from buckling to allow that push force to be translated to the end of the motion system. The flexibility of the cable would also ensure the faultless functioning of the system. As you can see, I used a cable tie to add stress relief to the power cable. You may wish to add one to the HDMI cable, but it's in there pretty solid and I didn't think it needed one. For example, if one applies 10 lbs of force to the control system, and the existence of friction within the control cable assembly reduces the applied force, the output is likewise reduced accordingly.

The conduit used in a control cable assembly is designed to a specific length and the ends of the conduit, and cable, can each be configured with or without fittings. One other peculiarity was the way the ribbon cable was routed through the plastic; there seemed to be a specific slot for this (2), but it had been sent through a wider opening (1) - was this intentional during assembly or a mistake? It did actually seem better through the larger opening. I have seen someone else fail to do this (on Youtube) on a device by using a soldering iron that was too hot and melted the ribbon cable, so I used my lowest wattage iron, a USB powered one that is pretty useless for most things, added some liquid flux and carefully and briefly touched the iron to each solder point. If you want to give it a try, it's not a bad little project to get started in single board computers, electronics and learning how to solder. Though it might not look that way from the state of my website, I can be a bit of a perfectionist at times, and failures can irk me a little (even though I freely admit I'm by no means an expert.

People who urge the State to compete in laying cables against its own private citizens forget that this may result in the ruin of the private enterprise, already hard pressed by foreign rivals; so that the State itself will have eventually to embark upon that business at great expense. The German companies, who live on their State subsidies, would occupy the field abandoned by ourselves. So much for the main British cables on the actual coast of China. A faulty ribbon cable that leads from the main circuit board to the controls and display module? In that region, as elsewhere, British cable enterprise is rivalled and assailed on all hands and in every quarter by foreign nations. In order to remedy this danger, she built a cable from Tourane, in 1901, to Amoy, her policy being to proceed thence northwards and join hands with Russia. It served me well for a good few years until, if I remember correctly, it stopped being able to read discs (I still have the carry case I used with it though!). I also had a Hi-Fi (also Goodmans-branded) at the time of which the CD player also stopped reading discs - I continued using the system by rerouting the audio from the player to some make-shift Aux-In sockets (something the system lacked), providing further years of use until the amplifier seemingly got tired and it grew quieter and quieter!
