QUANTUM DETECTOR FOR MEASUREMENT OF EED BRIDGE WIRE TEMPERATURE RISE
Abstract
Research was continued on the constrution and testing of experimental vibrating reed choppers, and on the construction of an experimental squib quantum detector. Several choppers were constructed with improved characteristics. The coil and core were reduced in size while increasing the excursion of the reed by a factor of five. A typical chopper is illustrated. The core is made from one iron transformer lamination. A slot was made in the core to fasten the reed. In previous designs the reed was cemented directly to the core. The rigidity of the support was temperature dependent. In the new design, the reed is inserted into the slot. The core is crimped, closing the slot and fastening the reed. Also a better magnetic circuit is obtained by this method. (Author)
