The condenser C1 and the diode D2 are connected in parallel manner between said collector and emitter. The primary coil of the flyback transformer T1 receives, at the other end thereof, the primary power source voltage of +24 V. * Ligne n°90 : In the high-voltage output circuit 13, a diode D3 is connected in a forward direction to an end of the high-voltage second coil of the flyback transformer T1, and a condenser C2 and a resistor R9 are connected in parallel manner between the cathode of said diode D3 and the other grounded end of said second coil to obtain an output high voltage from said cathode of the diode D3.

Thus, upon entry of a pulse signal from the oscillating circuit 11 as shown in FIG. 3A, a current is supplied to the base of the transistor Tr4 from the power source of +24 V through the resistor R8, transistor Tr2 and resistor R7 to activate the transformer T1. Upon said activation the third and fourth coils respectively generate voltages of +5 V and -5 V, which thereafter principally govern the base drive of the transistor Tr4. More specifically the conductive state of the transistor Tr4 is attained by a current supply of +5 V to the base thereof through the transistor Tr2 and the resistor R7, and the nonconductive state of the transistor Tr4 is attained rapidly by inverse current supply to the base thereof through the transistor Tr3 and the resistor R7. * Ligne n°94 : Thus, when the transistor Tr1 is turned on, the transistors Tr2 and Tr3 are respectively turned on and off to supply a current from the positive power source of +5 V through the transistor Tr2 and the resistor R7 to the base of the transistor Tr4, thus turning on the same (cf.

On the other hand, when the transistor Tr1 is turned off, the transistors Tr2 and Tr3 are respectively turned off and on to turn off the transistor Tr4 rapidly by the current supply from the negative power source of -5 V to the base of said transistor Tr4 (cf.
