Abstract

698,034. Automatic control systems. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. Nov. 12, 1948 [Nov. 14, 1947], No. 29407/48. Drawings to Specification. Class 38 (iv). The subject-matter of this Specification is in the main identical with that of Specifications 698,033, 698,037 and 698,038, but involves, among others, the following modified arrangements : (a) A system similar to that of Specification 698,038, in which the directional gyro controls the bias of the rate-of-turn gyro instead of that of the bank gyro and the relay associated with the servomotor operating the second potentiometer. (b) A system similar to that of Specification 698,038, in which the armature of the servomotor adjusting the second potentiometer upon operation of the hand wheel is supplied directly by the voltage between the sliders of the two potentiometers. (c) A system similar to that of Specification 698,038, in which a rheostat is provided in series with each of the three outputs taken from the two potentiometers to bias the three rate gyros upon operation of the hand wheel. These rheostats may be manually adjusted to three pre-set positions or automatically controlled by an airspeed responsive diaphragm to give control surface displacements suited to airspeed. Specification 698,032 also is referred to.
