904,335. Data-processing equipment. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. March 11, 1960 [March 13, 1959], No. 8805/59. Class 106 (1). A recording system records a series of 0's while the associated data-processing equipment is functioning properly. When a fault occurs, however, 1 is recorded after which recording ceases. Playback of the record indicates the whereabouts of the fault. A bi-stable device 10 is set to 0 to energize a write circuit 2 which records a series of 0's on a magnetic drum 1. A fault applies a potential to terminal 8, so reversing the bistable device 10. The write circuit 2 then records 1 after which the write circuit is disabled by the absence of potential on lead 7. When the record is played back at the same time as a clock track a two-beam oscilloscope 5 indicates the time of the fault and its position in a scanning system. |
