S591) * PLANIMETER for integrating linear strip- chart records is designed to accept charts up to 3 7/16 in. wide. The curve is fol- lowed by a pointer that is positioned by a hand-controlled knob. A variable- speed, foot-control drive permits the operator to adjust the speed of traverse to his ability to follow the curve. Opti- mum accuracy is ± 0.1 percent. A similar instrument is available for integrating square-root charts. (Librascope, Inc., Dept.

Illumination of the galvanometers is provided by a single source whose intensity is adjusted automatically to each recording speed range. Up to 50 recording channels may be provided. Frequencies as high as 3000 .cy/sec and trace velocities above 30,000 in./sec can be recorded and viewed im- mediately without processing. (Midwest- ern Instruments, Dept. S582) * VOLTAGE REFERENCE SUPPLY is designed to replace No. 6 dry cells in instruments and controls. The supply, designed to re- semble the dry cell and substitute for it with no modification requirements, sup- plies 1.5 v at 6 ma with 0.25 percent sta- bility to input variations from 108 to 125 v. (Performance Measurements Co., Dept. S604) * DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE TRANSDUCER measures pressures in full-scale ranges from ± 0.1 to ± 100 lb/in2. The measure- ment principle is a magnetic pressure- sensing diaphragm operating between coils in a magnetic reluctance system with two active arms. Full scale output is typically 40 mv/v. Linearity is + 1 per- cent of range, and hysteresis error is within 1 percent of maximum pressure excursion. (Pace Engineering Co., Dept. S598) * RECORDING BALANCE, manufactured by Sartorius-Gbttingen, is available in ranges from 0 to 100 jig to 0 to 10,000 pg. The balance has a quartz beam sus- pended from a 7-mil torsion wire. The object to be weighed is suspended from the end of the beam and counterbal- anced. Changes in weight are counter- acted by magnetic force to maintain the position of the beam. The change in cur- rent required to effect compensation can be used to record weight changes. The balance may be operated in vacuum. (C. A. Brinkman and Co., Inc., Dept.
