Switching logic means for a discrete servomotor mechanism

Claim 1

A POSITION CONTROL MEANS FOR A MOVABLE OBJECT, SAID CONTROL MEANS COMPRISING IN COMBINATION, A REVERSIBLE MOTOR, FIRST MEANS FOR CONTROLLING CLOCKWISE ROTATION OF THE MOTOR, SECOND MEANS FOR CONTROLLING COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION OF THE MOTOR, A DRUM ROTATABLY POSITIONED BY THE MOTOR, A FIRST PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS CARRIED BY THE DRUM, A FIRST OPERATOR-OPERATIVE SWITCH, SAID FIRST SWITCH BEING SELECTIVELY OPERABLE IN ONE SENSE TO EFFECT ENERGIZATION OF ONE OF SAID FIRST PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS, SAID FIRST SWITCH BEING SELECTIVELY OPERABLE IN ANOTHER SENSE TO EFFECT ENERGIZATION OF ANOTHER OF SAID PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS, A SECOND PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS CARRIED BY THE DRUM, A SECOND OPERATOROPERATIVE SWITCH, SAID SECOND SWITCH BEING SELECTIVELY OPERABLE IN THE ONE SENSE TO EFFECT ENERGIZATION OF ONE OF SAID SECOND PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS, SAID SECOND SWITCH BEING SELECTIVELY OPERABLE IN ANOTHER SENSE TO EFFECT ENERGIZATION OF ANOTHER OF SAID SECOND PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS, A THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS CARRIED BY THE DRUM, A THIRD OPERATOR-OPERATIVE SWITCH, SAID THIRD SWITCH BEING SELECTIVELY OPERABLE IN ONE SENSE TO EFFECT ENERGIZATION OF ONE OF SAID THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS, SAID THIRD SWITCH BEING SELECTIVELY OPERABLE IN ANOTHER SENSE TO EFFECT ENERGIZATION OF ANOTHER OF SAID THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS, MEANS FOR ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING A SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO THE FIRST OPERATOR-OPERATIVE SWITCH, A FIRST TRANSFER TRACK CARRIED BY THE DRUM FOR ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING AT LEAST ONE OF THE FIRST PAIR OF CONDUCTOR TRACKS TO THE SECOND OPERATOR-OPERATIVE SWITCH, A SECOND TRANSFER TRACK CARRIED BY THE DRUM FOR ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING AT LEAST ONE OF THE SECOND PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS TO THE THIRD OPERATOR-OPERATIVE SWITCH, A THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS CARRIED BY THE DRUM AND INCLUDING IN ONE OF THE SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS OF SAID THIRD PAIR OF A PLURALITY OF INSULATED PORTIONS, ANOTHER SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACK OF SAID THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF OTHER INSTALLED PORTIONS, A FIRST OUTPUT CONDUCTOR TRACK CARRIED BY THE DRUM AND ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST MEANS FOR CONTROLLING CLOCKWISE ROTATION OF THE MOTOR, A SECOND OUTPUT CONDUCTOR TRACK CARRIED BY THE DRUM AND ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO THE SECOND MEANS FOR CONTROLLING COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION OF THE MOTOR, AND AN ELECTRICAL NETWORK INCLUDING BRUSH MEANS COOPERATING WITH SAID CONDUCTOR TRACKS FOR INTERCONNECTING THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD PAIRS OF CONDUCTOR TRACKS AND SAID FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD SWITCHES TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND OUTPUT CONDUCTOR TRACKS AND THERETHROUGH SELECTIVELY TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND CONTROL MEANS, SAID BRUSH MEANS COOPERATING WITH THE AFORESAID INSULATED PORTIONS OF SAID THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS IN EFFECTING SELECTED POSITIONS OF THE MOVABLE OBJECT, THE SELECTED POSITION OF THE MOVABLE OBJECT BEING EFFECTED BY THAT ONE OF THE INSULATED PORTIONS OF THE THIRD PAIR OF SEGMENTAL CONDUCTOR TRACKS DETERMINED BY THE SELECTED POSITIONS OF THE FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD OPERATOR-OPERATIVE SWITCHES.
