Description: Traces the development of the bridge rectifier, showing how the output voltage is affected by the various rectifier configurations. Components are identified and labeled. Current flow is traced and output waveshape is shown using a trainer and oscilloscope. Circuit voltages are computed, symptoms of malfunction are illustrated using the trainer and oscilloscope, and probable causes of these symptoms are discussed. (Kinescope)
