Excerpt from A Digital Point Gage Recorder
Equipment for recording point gage readings directly on punched tape in a form suitable for use by a digital computer is described.
The components of the digital point gage recorder include a point gage, gears to convert point gage linear motion to rotation of a shaft, an analog-to-digital con verter (encoder) to change the angular position of the shaft into a coded digital output, a control cabinet to read the converter, anda tape punch to record the coded readings on paper tape. A keyboard on the control cabinet permits the entry of certain data on the paper tape more conveniently than through the point gage.
