Magnetically regulated reference power supply
Robert A. Raber · Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers Part I Communication and Electronics · 1957
THE NEED for a highly accurate and reliable d-c voltage reference as part of a Navy Gun Fire-Control System resulted in development of the reference supply described. The customer's requirements imposed severe size and reliability restrictions. The reliability requirements resulted in the choice of magnetic amplifiers for instrument servos of the system. Upon evidence of the feasibility of their use, they were also chosen as logical components for the reference power supply.
