IV-1 datasheet English translation

[Paul Andrews]

Hi,

I translated the IV-1 specs from this book into English using Google Translate. I uploaded the document to our google drive here - it includes drawings of the tube. If anyone spots any errors, let me know - though I have used it to light up my own IV-1's.

If you've used it, that is good. Google Translate can be a bit hit-or-miss - for example, it renders ЗНАКОСИНТЕЗИРУЮЩИЕ as "mind-synthesizing" instead of "character-generating" (technically, "character synthesizing" when used without the context) which is a bit humorous... This may be because the corpus it was trained on was mostly psychology books.

I 'paraphrased' much of the literal translation e.g. 'Max' instead of 'not greater'. The translator completely failed to translate Накала, though it gave the Roman alphabet equivalent of Nacala. From the context it was fairly clear that it is the filament, which I translated as heater. 'Incandescent' was the closest I could get at the time, though I am seeing things like накаливания being translated as both 'filament lamp' and 'incandescent bulb'.
