Abstract
Abstract The continuously recording mechanical relaxation spectrometer includes two bridge connected selsyn type motors operated by two a.c. voltages of different frequencies, one motor being a reference motor connected in reverse phase to the remaining driving motor. A specimen, the moduli of which are to be measured as a function of temperature or frequency, is subjected to torsional oscillation by the driving motor in a controlled temperature environment. Variations in the load on the driving motor are sensed as voltage variations across a load resistor connected to the bridge connected motor system, and these voltage variations are fed to a phase analyser which provides signals to operate one axis of an X-Y recorder. The remaining axis of the recorder is operated by signals from a temperature sensing unit positioned adjacent the specimen.
