Synopsis

Transistorized Building Blocks for Data Instrumentation explains a modular, etched-circuit logic system you can build with MAD-IB cards.

This reference describes a fourth family of transistorized logic cards designed for small- to medium-sized data acquisition and processing systems. It highlights compatibility with earlier MAD cards, a modular organization you can extend, and practical details you can use in real projects.

The book covers specifications, graphic symbols, procurement basics, and enough design insight to replicate cards. It explains operating ranges, power supplies, and the mechanical format of theMAD-lb cards, along with how the cards fit into a broader data instrumentation setup. It also showcases a variety of card types, from one-shot timing to oscillators and pulse gates, with practical guidance for troubleshooting and assembly.

• How the MAD-IB cards fit into a modular data instrumentation system
• Key electrical and mechanical specifications for reliable use
• Typical circuit functions such as counters, oscillators, and pulse gates
• Procurement details and layout considerations for replication

Ideal for readers of technical manuals and practitioners building data instrumentation systems with etched-circuit logic cards of this era.
