Title: VERNIER CHRONOTRON UTILIZING AT LEAST TWO SHORTED DELAY LINES

Abstract

An improved vernier chronotron featuring pulse-forming circuits of a ringing'' or back and forth'' oscillatory type is described. A delay line shorted at both ends together with transistor circuitry to introduce a pulse into that line and also to provide reinforcement of the pulse as it oscillates between the pulse-reflective extremities is provided. A transistorized coincidence circuit is also provided. Enhanced measurement of time intervals in the nanosecond range is afforded. (AEC)
