[ARC5] Vibrator Power Supplies

[Roy Morgan]

Hello,

I have a document entitled:

Fundamental Principles of 
Vibrator Power Supply Design

Compiled and Published by
P.R. Mallory & Co., Inc.
Indianapolis 6, Indiana
March 1947

The file name is mallory_vibe.pdf and it is 13.6 Mb in size with 129 pages.

It mentions that the “typical frequency” is 125 cps, and in the transformer design section it mentions that the 2500 series operates at 250 cycles.  That section tells about 6 volt vibrators operating at 6 and 8 volts and frequency of 113 and 116 cycles respectively. 

I can send this thing to anyone interested, but a Google search finds it at:

www.tubebooks.org/Books/mallory_vibe.pdf <http://www.tubebooks.org/Books/mallory_vibe.pdf>

(I own one of the Mallory “Vibrapack” supplies illustrated but it’s not available to me just now.)
