✦ Synopsis

This handbook covers the engineering information and quantitative data needed in the design and construction of military equipment. The handbook is an authoritative reference book of practical information and quantitative facts helpful in the design and development of Army materiel so that it will meet the tactical and the technical needs of the Armed Forces. This 1965 Handbook on servomechanisms has been prepared as an aid to designers of automatic control systems for Army equipments, and as a guide to military and civilian personnel who are responsible for setting control-system specifications and ensuring their fulfillment.
