[BC] Remote control - Bionic Labs

[Dave Hultsman]

Any of you older guys, like me,  remember  Bionic Labs Remoter Control System?   Like to see a brochure on that unit.  It used to cos $895.00 in 1965.  Just curious about the system.  I believer it was built in Pennsylvania.

What I found was that the meters all connected to a single 9-volt battery through a calibration pot. The battery was turned on and off using a DPST switch on the front panel. The other pole of the switch went to the remote-control phone line.
