TRANSITION

The time it takes to shift from a mark to a space condition or from a space to a mark condition [17].


TRANSLATION

In a gyro, a force acting through the center of gravity of the gyro that causes no torque on the gyro rotor. Translation forces do not change the angle of the plane of rotation but move the gyroscope as a unit [15].


TRANSLUCENT

Those substances, such as frosted glass, through which some light rays can pass but through which objects cannot be seen clearly [10].


TRANSMISSION LINE

A device designed to guide electrical or electromagnetic energy from one point
to another [10].


TRANSMISSION MEDIUM

A means of transferring intelligence from point to point; includes light, smoke, sound, wire lines, and radio-frequency waves [10] [12].


TRANSMIT-RECEIVE TUBE

(TR)—A gas-filled RF switch that is used as a duplexer [18].

TRANSMITTER

Equipment that generates and amplifies an RF carrier, modulates the RF carrier with intelligence, and radiates the signal into space [17] [18].


TRANSMITTER DISTRIBUTOR

A device that reads Baudot code from paper tape and allows a message to be printed on a page printer [17].


TRANSMITTER END

See INPUT END [10].
