tubes arranged in push-pull parallel with a constant
resistance network in the cathode circuit, R65, R66,

trailingedges of square wave output duringtube switching. The output tubes, like the clipper amplifier stage,
alternately conduct and cut-off. The compensating
network introduces a reactive transient into the cir-
cuit with a sign opposite to that produced by the tube
elements during switching.

4-16. The power supply in the 211A must function
correctly before the instrument will operate properly.

the instrument to drift out of calibration and other
circuits to operate erratically.

dc voltmeter with
