Measuring the conductor spacing in flat conductor cables
Interference method produces a moire pattern having a shape correlated with the lead spacing. A continuous check of the spacing is possible if the material between the leads is translucent. Technique is quick, accurate, convenient, and simple to operate
Hobel stripper for shielded and unshielded flat conductor cable
Stripping tool exposes an area of shield for grounding purposes without removing an area of insulation between terminated shield and exposed conductors. Tool does not require heated blade and is capable of removing small portions of material at a time, to any depth
Cryogenic gyroscope housing
A cryogenic gyroscope housing having gas spin-up means provided in annular discs inserted between housing shells is described. A circumferential recess in the inner edges of the discs at their juncture serves as the gas spin-up channel, and recesses in the discs at their junctures with the shells form suction channels. The discs also have inlet and outlet ports communicating with the spin-up channel and exhaust slots communicating with the suction channels. Mating surfaces of the discs and housing shells are held in position by optical contact at the equational plane of the housing. Suspension electrodes and thin-film readout loops are disposed in shells. A centering band and clamp rings provide for proper alinement and placement of parts in formation of optical contact joints
Method of making shielded flat cable Patent
Shielded flat conductor cable fabricated by electroless and electrolytic platin
Fixture for multiple-FCC chemical stripping and plating
For chemical stripping, lead tape applied near ends to be stripped protects insulation. Taped ends are submerged half way in stripping solution. For electroplating, both ends of FCC are stripped - top ends for electric contact, others for submersion in electroplating solution
Contact-spring forming machine for flat conductor cable receptacles
Machine tool produces beryllium-copper contact springs for FCC /flat conductor cable/ feed-through receptacles. The springs are heat-treated and plated to impart the required electrical contact properties
Instrument support with precise lateral adjustment Patent
Centering device with ultrafine adjustment for use with roundness measuring apparatu
Method of making a molded connector Patent
Method of making molded electric connector for use with flat conductor cable
Spool for releasing and retracting flat conductor cable
Spool design and operation permit installation of up to 8 cables on single unit. Heat treating the cables while wound in a coil obtains effective recoil action
Support apparatus for dynamic testing Patent
Hydraulic support equipment for full scale dynamic testing of large rocket vehicle under free flight condition
