Bridge heA - D -  The LDR's were hand-picked.  Got two packages of them from Radio Shack, looking for at least two pairs of similar parts.  Then added wire-wrap pin sockets, to the circuit, so that the LDR's could be plugged in.  Currently, the 0.33UF cap is not being used on my B-Head's.  I made a long J-hook from "Jumbo Paper Clips", attached it to the motor shaft, and then hung it from my rear-view mirror so it can "see the lights" __ Designed by Paul T.

Bridging enhances filter close-In selectivity -  03/02/00 EDN-Design Ideas  General filters are bandpass filters that usually employ bridging couplings between nonadjacent interstage couplings  (Reference 1].  This class of filters also includes bridging coupling across  filter input and output ports.  The implementation of input-to-output bridging already exists for a one-pole filter  (Reference 2].  For a two-pole filter, dielectric resonators help achieve input-to-output bridging coupling  (Reference 3]__ Circuit Design by Luis Miguel Brugarolas, Sire Sistemas y Redes Telmaticas, Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain
