DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF AN INCREMENTAL MAG NETIC COUNTER,

Presented are 5 phases of the work on incremental counters by the Instrumentation Section 1 a short explanation of the incremental techni que, 2 an investigation of core characteristics with the incremental technique as an application, 3 the steps taken to design an operational incremental counter, 4 an explanation of the operation of the aforementioned counter, and 5 a proposed program for an end item fuze timer. The incremental counter used a torroidal magnetic core which stores an increment of flux for each cycle of operation of the driving oscillator. One cycle of oscillator operation is shaped or formed into a pulse of some voltage time. This pulse is then fed to a core which stores an increment of flux generated by the voltage time pulse. Author
