AMCP 706-205, ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK: TIMING SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS (31-DEC-1975)

AMCP 706-205, ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK: TIMING SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS (31-DEC-1975)., The Engineering Design Handbooks of the US Army Materiel Command have evolved over a number of years for the purpose of making readily available basic information, technical data, and practical guides for the development of military equipment. While aimed p,-imar\'iy at US Army materiel, the handbooks serve as authoritative references for needs of other branches of the Armed Services as well. This handbook covers timing systems and components. This handbook presents both theoretical and practical data oertaining to design methods and procedures for timing systems and devices. Subjects covered are precision reference timers, electronic timers, rnechanica timers, pyrotechnic timers, fludic timers, and a few others. Prepared as an aid to military designers, this handbook should also be of benefit to scientists and engineers engaged in other related research and development programs or who have the responsibility for the planning and iiiierpretation of experiments and tests concerning the performance of materiel related to timers
