In the present stabilized platform alignment amplifier for the PERSHING guidance and control system, the tachometer output signal is proportional to the pendulum output. Using the pendulum signals for a proportional signal in place of the tachometer reduces the null require-ment of the alignment loop caused by the threshold of the motor-tachometer.nA theoretical analysis of the present alignment loops and their effect on the platform servo loops is presented. A new and much simpler technique for mechanizing the alignment loops is proposed, and the feasibility of the technique is verified analytically.
