LET'S BE OUT THIS FRIDAY, ne SETS Referring to an article sponsored by the National Safety Council in a, recent issue of the "News" regarding electric shock hazards from television sets, we feel, in the interests of safety, it is necessary to point out a few facts. Quite a few television sets and almost all small mantle radios roday are wired in a nanner known as "series" or AC-DC. This manner of wiring was developed primarily in the interests of economy, allowing fewer parts to be used in construction. However, in this type of installation, an electrical hazard was introd- uced in that grounding through the "plug-in" cord is used, This means that, depending which way the TV or radio is plugged into the wall recept- acle, the chassis may be at e « TERRACE BAY NEWS with the use of more and more electrical DON'T BE bmi" BY OLD' SACK FROST!" ea WILL SHOW HIM ( CALEN WHO'S BOSS.

To run an external ground to this type of machine is not good practice, since, if the set is plugged in properly it is already grounded; and, if it is not plugged in properly, using an external ground would cause a short circuit and blow the house fuse. Indeed, if the ground were attached with the set in operation the possibility of a severe shock and damage to the TV or radio is quite likely. The complete answer to the problem has still not been found, however the best solution lies in having the receptacles in the house polarized, that is: to use grounded outlet boxes and three-pin plugs on all television and radio sets. We realize in older houses this is hardly possible but in new house construction it is a definite must appliances.
