O Nuts of Time,
I was recently asked to make a big PDF file of the HP AC-4 counter
modules manual that I have had on my website for a few years as a
series of jpeg files. So I did...
http://www.nixiebunny.com/hpac4/hpac4.pdf
These modules are used in the ancient HP 521 to 524 series of
counters. Each module handles one digit. They have four vacuum tubes
and either a nixie tube or ten neons in a thermometer arrangement.
I have a 521C and a 522B counter on hand but they are a bit too slow
to handle the 10 MHz of modern times, having a maximum counting
frequency of 200 kilocycles per second.
