Clock timed reference gated pulse generating system for a tacan beacon

Claim 1

A SYNCHRONIZED ELECTROMECHANICAL PULSE GENERATOR FOR INITIATING SIGNAL BURST GATES SELECTING SPECIFIC ACCURATELY TIMED PULSES OF A SIGNAL CLOCK GENERATOR, INCLUDING: AN ELECTROMECHANICAL CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT; ELECTROMECHANICAL PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS; DRIVE MEANS INTERCONNECTING SAID CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT AND SAID PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS PROVIDING SYNCHRONOUS DRIVE TO THE CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT AND THE PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS; SIGNAL GATING MEANS CONNECTED FOR RECEIVING GATING INPUT PULSES FROM SAID ELECTROMECHANICAL PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS, AND WITH SAID GATING MEANS ALSO RECEIVING THE OUTPUT OF SAID ELECTROMECHANICAL CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT FOR GATING OF SPECIFIC ACCURATELY TIMED PULSES OF THE CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATOR TO UTILIZING EQUIPMENT; SAID ELECTROMECHANICAL CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT BEING CONSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE A TRAIN OF SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORMLY SPACED, RELATIVELY NARROW, CLOCK PULSES AND INCLUDING A ROTATABLE DISC WITH UNIFORMLY SPACED ELEMENTS CAPABLE OF INDUCING AN ELECTRONIC PICKUP IN AN ELECTRONIC SIGNAL CIRCUIT AS THE DISC IS BEING ROTATED; SAID CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT ALSO INCLUDING AN INDUCED ELECTRONIC SIGNAL PICKUP CIRCUIT IN OPERATIVE RELATION WITH SAID ROTATABLE DISC; SAID PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS BEING CONSTRUCTED TO GENERATE PULSES OF GREATER DURATION THAN THE CLOCK PULSES OF SAID CLOCK SIGNAL GENERATING CIRCUIT AND WITH SAID GATING PULSES IN SYNCHRONISM WITH SPECIFIC PULSES OF THE CLOCK SIGNAL PULSE TRAIN; WITH SAID ELECTROMECHANICAL PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS INCLUDING A SECOND ROTATABLE DISC HAVING AT LEAST ONE ELEMENT CAPABLE OF INDUCING AN ELECTRONIC PICKUP IN AN ELECTRONIC GATE SIGNAL CIRCUIT AS THE DISC IS BEING ROTATED; AND SAID PULSE GATE GENERATING MEANS ALSO INCLUDING AN INDUCED ELECTRONIC GATE SIGNAL PICKUP CIRCUIT IN OPERATIVE RELATION WITH SAID SECOND ROTATABLE DISC.
