lower than, betzeen, or greater than the above mentioned time base

points,

If lower, the bi-directional switch is stepped "up" a decade

(which may be a scale~of-ten division of the upper c ocade of a channel
or a chengo of channel), If greater, the bi-directional switch is

switched "down" a decade.

If between, no action occurs,

3.3.4 Doso Rate Computer
This section receives a channeled pulse train from the
channel Identification Section, A scale«of=two chain driven in line
synchronization is started by each pulse after a fixed time delay, and
is stopped by the succeeding pulse, The binary pattern then has stored
a count of timing oscilletor cycles and adds to n divider (by relcying)
a pattern of parallel resistors proportional to the binery count, so
thet the bottom conductsnce of the divider is proportional to the whole
pulse separation time, The divider then presents to a potentiometer
recorder a voltage proportional to inverse pulse separation time and
thus to dose rate,

The recorder chronograph pen is signalled by the

channel Identification Section at docade chenges end indicates by chart
margin merkings the scale factor, A similar relay bank sets up another
divider net which presents to another recorder a voltage proportional
to the maintisse of the logarithm of dose rete vith cherecteristics
obtained fron the Channel Identification Section,

3.3.5 Corputer
The Dose Computer employs four banks of telephone

minor switches: a l0-switch cescade counting bank, » 6eswitch trensfer
bank, a 3-switch linesr readout bank, and a S5eswitch logarithmic read-

out benk,

The counting bank is fed on switches 1, 3, 5 ond 7 by data

readers reading channels 4, B, C and D end thus sums dose as a count of
Channel 4 base increments, The transfer bank selects decade scale
factor so as to confine the dose summation to the pen range of the dose
recorder, The linear rendout benk accepts the dose summation from a

level of the counting bank determined by the current level of the
transfer bank; the whole bank is in turn stepped up as required by the
readout bank, The readout bank sets up a resistance divider which feeds
a voltage to the linear dose recorder proportional to the count on the

readout bark and so to the appropriately sceled total dose. Three
Significant figures are avnileble. The logarithmic readout bank accepts
dose summation in the same wey as the linecr, but sets up a logarithmic
divider which presents o voltage to the recorder proportional over any

five decades of deta to the logarithm of total dose,
