Elenco's PK-201 Experiment #30: The Alarm

This experiment is an oscillator circuit with a trip wire. The alarm is turned on by disconnecting a wire and turned off by connecting the wire (trip wire). The trip wire creates a "short circuit" across the transistor base, so no current flows into the base of the transistor and it stays off. When the "trip wire" is disconnected, the short is removed, and the circuit works sounding an alarm.
