AUTOMOTIVE TAPE RECORDER. VOLUME 1. DESIGN AND PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT

The requirements for a sensing and recording device for use in passenger vehicles are listed with a discussion of how the requirements are met with a prototype unit which was fabricated and assembled. A complete description of the electronic circuits for conditioning signals from remote transducer is included with a signal processing technique for recording data on a magnetic tape system. Laboratory tests on critical elements of the recording devices are discussed and the results of the tests are noted to show feasibility of the design. This is Volume 1 of 5 volumes.
