after
the
phase shifts described above

are combined at

and
the two resultant
voltages
(sinusoid

By means

The Model 416A uses a scheme
similar
to
the foregoing to obtain
two
voltages
w
h
ich are
out
of phase by

These
voltages
are used
in
the
triggering
of subsequent
circuits that
convert the two
voltages
to square
-
waves
which are app
l
ied to
the meter circuit.
The sum of these two waveforms is
another sq

wave
whic
h is proportional
to

and
the
meter scales are so
calibrated that with a cur
rent proportional
to

an indication wil

be given

root
of tan

The ratio
of
