4-36. An example of unbalance is shown in Figure 4-8. As
the positive signal causes the galvanometer to move the
stylus as shown, the rotor moves so that more of the
oscillator output is felt on the split capacitor
plates/. These plates are connected to the CR1-Q1 half of
the demodulator, so that more positive voltage is impressed
upon C1. The unshaded plates receive proportionately less
of the oscillator output, and so CR2-Q2. the negative side
of the demodulator, produces less positive output for C1.
C1, then, sends a positive feedback voltage to the driver
amplifier, which tends to return the stylus toward the
center of the chart. The feedback voltage is sided by a
torsion spring that facilitates setting of the sylus mechani-
cal center. For maintenance purposes, note that one volt of
position voltage corresponds to 10 division s of stylus
movement

Stylus heat is controlled from the Heat Pot Board,
A2A2, on the front panel. The heat control voltage is
applied to a simple feedback amplifer located on the driver
amplifier assembly. Q11, Q12, and Q13, which has a
current limiting circuit similar to that used for the
galvanometer. The amplifer output drives the resistive

4-43. CHART DRIVE.
4-44. The recorder chart drive consists of a 115 volt ac
motor, a gearbox with four pairs of clutches and speed
selection solenoids, a paper drive roller, and a paper brake.
4-45. Chart Motor.
4-46. The chart motor is a continuous duty, synchronous
motor with a speed of 1800 rpm for 60 Hz operation. A
pulley on the motor shaft engages a drive belt
that
transmits power to the gearbox. To provide additional
electrical safety, the motor IS Insulated from the recorder
chassis by non-conducting spacers.
4-40. Power IS controlled from the recorder front panel.
Figure 4-9 shows recorder power switching together with
chart motor control circuits and speed control solenoid
circuit.
4-41
Line common reaches the chart drive motor through
Sl, the power switch and the Ul voltage selector, whenever
Sl IS on. The high side of line power IS applied to the chart
drive motor through motor relay Kl, which is actuated
by
the control switch RUN button on the front panel, or
a remote run signal (Figure 2-9). The motor is described
further in Paragraph 4-46. Kl also turns on
stylus
heat
through the control switch.
4-42. The motor drives the gearbox, the speeds of which
are controlled by speed selection solenoids Ll, L2, L3, and
L4. The speed control action of these solenolds is described
in Paragraph
4-51. The segments of the control switch are
so arranged that the solenoids are energized in the correct
combinaiton for each speed desired. The switch IS
shown in
the 5 mn/sec position. As an example of how the switch

Control.
Chart paper speed IS varied by a gear train consisting
of sets of four gears, on two shafts (Figure 4-10) These
shafts are fixed in place and do not rotate. Each set of four
gears (A, B, C, and D) either provides a speed reduction
with all four gears transmitting power, or no speed
reduction, with power bypassing the reduction gears
through a spring clutch that links gears A and D on the
primary shaft. Gear D IS mechanically part of Gear, A on the
next set, so power IS directly transmitted to the next set of
gears
When direct drive is desired, the associated solenoid
4-49
is energized, withdrawing the plunger from the clutch
pawls. The clutch then engages, coupling gears A and D
The spring clutch between gears B and C automatically
disengages since gear C, being smaller than gear B, rotates
faster when gears A and D are in direct drive

4-91. To switch the current, differential input circuit
is controlled by two things, to turn the current
on at the appropriate time. The height of the
output voltage pulse, and thus the quantity of current, is
determined by the heat control voltage level. It is limited
by the point at which the main +l5V supply starts (or
stops) drawing current. The differential circuit switches
series regulator Q18, Q12 to pulse the marker heat current
as drown by the shaded areas in Figure 4-14. This provides
a pulse on the steep leading and trailing edges of the main
waveform, when the capacitive supply is not drawing
current. Board exchange instead of troubleshooting is
recommended if this circuit IS found to be inoperative.

replace the brake felt (Paragraph 5-28).
C.
Paper tracking Run the Recorder at 25 mm/sec for
5 sheets. Paper should follow the right table guide without
weaving or damaging the edge of the paper. A static trace
position should not vary-more than 0.5 mm from any
reference grid line, after 6 to 12 sheets have passed and
tracking has settled down. Check several more sheets at 200
mm/second. For tracking adjustments, see paragraph 5-26.

will have the same time reference with respect to the paper,
all stylus tips must fall on the same time reference line of
the paper, 0.25 division. To check parallax, apply power
to the Recorder, and set to STANDBY mode. With finger
pressure, gently move the stylus off center full scale, in the
positive and negative directions The trace over the width of
each channel should be within 0. 25 mm of the reference
grid line. If not, see Paragraph 5-33 to adjust stylus
parallax. All 8 channels should be referenced to the same
grid line, that is, all traces should end at the same point
when the Recorder stops If not, see Paragraph 5-34

are easily distorted in the vertical direction.
5-18. Lubrication.
5-19. Minor lubrication should be performed during preventive maintenance Major lubncation (minor lubrication
plus gearbox) is done at overhaul and at regular intervals of
12 months or 2000 hours operation, if used mostly in the
upper half of the speed range. If the Recorder is used
mostly for low speed operation, more clutches are engaged
and
more reduction gears are used. Thus, a more
frequent
lubrication may be required, typically every 6 months or
1000 hours. To help assure uninterrupted service if an
extended period of recording is anticipated, overhaul and
lubricate the Recorder before placing it in service
Lubricants are listed in Table 5-2, lubrication points are shown in
Figure 5-2.

the gearbox, and to
inspect for clutch wear. The procedure
is Illustrated in Figure 5-17. Note that each gear has, in
addition to one or two toothed discs, one or two hub
sections that fit
inside the
clutch springs. The hub sections
of adjacent gears meet inside the spring, and must fit very
closely or else the spring will wind
down between the hubs,
disabling the gearbox. The shaft end play adjustment,
which follows
this overhaul procedure, is essential. End
play must be adjusted before running the gearbox, to
prevent damage.

5-61. GEARBOX RUN-IN.. To disperse excess lubricant
and test the gearbox, give it a test run after reinstallation.
First, run the gearbox at lowest speed (selected at the
recorder control panel).Excess Mystery oil, applied in the
procedure in Paragraph 5-56, will run from
gears, carrying with it dissolved gum and grease residue.
Stop the drive motor and wipe away this residue frequent-
of
ly. After 15 minutes
running run through a complete set
of gear changes at the front panel of the recorder while
inspecting the action of the gearbox (top cover removed).
All clutches should operate properly and the gears should
rotate smoothly. Stop the drive motor and place three
No. for drops of No. 10 oil (Table 5-2) between the
gears to lubricate the gear bearing (a typical point is
indicated in Figure 5-20). Run the gearbox at its lowest
speed for several minutes to ensure that the oil will seep
down into the gear bearings and be stored for future
so that it does not hit either bumper during its excursion,
and tighten the attachment screw. Unfasten this screw to
remove the stylus, and also remove the heat lead and its
attachment screw. To increase stylus pressure, move stylus
toward paper by loosening the screw in the slotted hole just
above mounting screw for stylus. To remove the marker
coil, unfasten the marker leads (Figure 5-l) by unplugging a
small cable, and unfasten the two marker mounting screws
shown in Figure 5-21. Two stylus heat leads also must be
disconnected in the marker frame area.
