Abstract :
DESPITE the present high state of perfection of both synchros and potentiometers, the aircraft industry is already designing devices the accuracy of which is better than that of the available means for transmitting output data to the point of use. The ¿stable platform¿ attitude reference and certain automatic astronomical instruments are examples of equipment presenting these new demands.
