Hard to say what someone was thinking perhaps he was just trying to use just one C battery rather than two??. Sometime you'll find a jumper across the C battery connections this will eliminate a bid of hum you may receive from not using a C battery. Set will play much better with a C battery. Having a speaker and ground connections will make it MUCH easier the hear the set play!!!
