SPEED A N D ACCURACY ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF EVERY -hp- INSTRUMENT
NEW ease and sureness in all types of laboratory and production
testing are made possible by the use of -bp- instruments. Although each is tail-
ored for very specific jobs, -bp- laboratory instruments have certain outstanding
"family" characteristics. No zero setting, little or no adjustment during opera-
tion, virtual independence of line and tube characteristics, full protection against
overloads, simple, accurate calibration, and streamlined circuits for clean and
trouble-free performance are qualities you will find throughout the -bp- line.
-bp- instruments are essential and versatile tools in the fields of television, fre-
quency modulation, radar, industrial heating, communications, carrier current,
equipment manufacture, experimental work, broadcasting, industrial testing.
Here is a partial list of the measurements that can be made with standard -bp-
instruments : distortion, frequency, gain, voltage, network response, harmonic
analysis, amplifier frequency response. They are also useful to establish standard
frequencies, establish standard ratios by attenuation, and provide voltage for ,
bridge measurements. Let - bp- instruments, products of sound engineering
and precision manufacture, solve your testing and measuring problems.

where it is necessary to generate an extremely wide range and
where low frequencies are involved, as in mechanical vibra-
tion problems. The Model 2001 is an oscillator of the band
spread type. It is intended for interpolation work and for
applications where it is necessary that the frequency of oscilla-
tion be known very accurately. These oscillators are supplied
in a relay rack mounting, as the 200AR, 200BR, 200CR,
200DR, 202DR, and 200IR.
ONLY THREE DIALS
There are only three controls on the panel. They are the
main frequency dial which covers a frequency range of 10 to
1 ; a range switch which selects the desired frequency band,
and an amplitude control to vary the output signal level.
USES
The primary function of an audio-frequency oscillator is
to generate an accurately controlled signal of known fre-
quency. This signal may be used to check the performance of
audio amplifiers, broadcast transmitters, and similar equip-
ment. Although applications in the related fields of electronics
are of first importance, the usefulness of the -hp- Resistance-
tuned Audio Oscillator is by no means limited to the electrical
engineering fields. They may be used, for example, to drive
mechanical systems, in order to measure resonance and sta-
bility. Other measurements of mechanical equipment include
measurements of the output frequency of rotating equipment,
such as generators and dynamotors.

Output: The Models 200A and 200B will supply one watt
or 22.5 volts output into a matched resistance load of 500
ohms, and 25 volts on open circuit. Models 200C, 200D,
202D, and 200I will deliver 100 milliwatts or 10 volts into
a 1000 ohm load. The internal impedance of the output am-
plifier is about 50 ohms at 1000 cps.

20 cps to 15 kc. The output voltage of the Model 200C is

is substantially flat from 10 cps to one mc. Because the ampli-

accuracy of meter reading is virtually independent of line

EASY TO OPERATE
The simplicity-of-operation characteristic of all -hp- in-
struments is exemplified by the Model 400A Vacuum Tube
Voltmeter. Ordinarily, no precautions whatsoever are re-
quired. Turnover effect and waveform errors are minimized
because this meter responds to the average value of the full
wave. There are no adjustments to make during operation.
Large overload voltages cause saturation of the amplifier
which protects the meter from damage. Thus occasional over-
loads of 100 times normal will not damage the meter move- Figure 2 Detail of Meter Face:
