A Low-Frequency Generator

Abstract

The need for a stable source of low-frequency power is often encountered in studies of recording-instruments performance. Indeed, in laboratory work involving the design and analysis of servo mechanisms in general, a low-frequency signal source is of paramount importance. The generator described herein was designed specifically to serve as a signal source for determination of the frequency characteristics of the various recording instruments in use at this Laboratory. Flexibility and convenience of operation in the dynamic testing of recording instruments characterize the generator which has been evolved.
