  • the nut is rotatable but held from 4longitudinal displacement with respect to the said .outer conductor .by .inclusion between portions of a bracket 60,*.onepart of which is in the end oi the .said conductor and secured therein as by screw 6l.
  • ⁇ Rotation; of nut 59 will accordingly move/the-hollowscrew longi- ⁇ tudinally, andas said screw is made fast to the piston head, said piston will be correspondingly moved.
  • the arrangement likewise functions to hold the-piston in a fixed position until an op- .erator chooses to rotate the nut. Desired adjustment is thus effected by a simple and readily applied one-hand operation, and the setting made is retained until manually altered.
  • the center conductor 40 is composed of three sections; namely, at one end provides a section 162 having contact ngers, provides amiddle section or rod 63, and provides at the other end an aligning sleeve 64.
