Re: Electric Scoreboard fer Basketball

Dear Dr. Allen:-—

Our installation of two scoreboards operating from a single control box,
recently completed at the Mankato State Teacher's College, Mankato,
Minnesota, has been thoroughly tried and proved-entirely satisfactory.
Such an installation involves two separate scoring units, located as
desired, with cables arranged so that both boards can be operated simul-
taneously from one control box. This can be accomplished by using ar-
rangement "A" or “B" as pictured on the attached sketch. The principle
is the same in each case with a separate cable coming from each board,
these merging into a single line at an intermediate point between the
control box and the scoreboard.

A double scoreboard setup including electrical fixtures (except c able
other than that furnished with the control box,)for cable arrangements
"A" or "B", will be delivered to Lawrence, Kansas, for $324.00. Addi-
tional cable (to extend from female socket or female sockets to be
installed within 15 feet of the scorer's table to the scoreboard) will
be supplied at 15 cents per foot. Scoreboards will be equipped with
10-minute or 20-minute clocks as selected.

Electrical fixtures included in the aforementioned price will depend,

of course, on the cable arrangement decided upon. Cable arrangement "A"
which suggests that the BX box (in which two female wall sockets are
placed) be located conveniently close to the scoreboard thereby limit-
ing the double run of cable, includes the BX box with two female wall
sockets, a separate female socket, two male plugs and a control box with
15 feet of cable and a male plug. Cable arrangement "B" does not anti-
cipate use of the BX box at an intermediate point between the female
sockets and the scoreboard, but depends on a double run of cable from the
board to the female sockets, and includes two female wall sockets and

a control box with 15 feet of cable and two male plugs.

As indicated above, cable arrangement “A" will be the most economical for

you in view of the limited run of double cables that will be required.
To determine the amount of cable that will be required for the "A" arrange-
