Multiple issues unreferenced December 2009 orphan December 2009 Azimuth recording is the use of a variation in angle between two recording heads that are recording data so close together on magnetic tape that crosstalk would otherwise likely occur. Normally, the head is perpendicular to the movement of the tape, and this is considered zero degrees. However, if the heads are mounted at slightly different angles such as 7 degrees in VHS , destructive interference will occur at high frequencies when reading data recorded in the cross talking channel but not in the channel that is intended to be read. At low frequencies relative to the maximum allowed by the head gap, however, this technique is ineffective. To look at it another way, channel A sees the channel B data stretched out in time, hence the technique has a low pass effect on Noise electronics noise intruding from another channel.

Refimprove date March 2010 File Azimuth Co ordinator used by Pink Floyd VA.jpg thumb Azimuth Co ordinator used by Pink Floyd, made by Bernard Speight, 1969 Victoria & Albert Museum, London The Azimuth Co ordinator was the first Panning audio panning control for a quadraphonic sound reinforcement system sound system , at that time a new concept. Pink Floyd became the first band to use it in their early shows. The Azimuth Co ordinator uses four rotary rheostat s housed in a large box. The rheostats were converted from their standard 270 degrees rotation to operate over the narrower 90 degree range imposed by the physical constraints of the control lever with the box top aperture. The system was operated by operating two joysticks, which allowed an audio signal to be panned between up to six loudspeaker s placed around the hall. The Azimuth Co ordinator was operated by keyboardist Richard Wright musician Richard Wright . As he operated the joystick, the source of the sound moved from speaker to speaker around the auditorium. With the controls in the central position, the sound output would be equal in all speakers. It was constructed by a technical engineer Bernard Speight, at EMI s Abbey Road Studios. The original was stolen after the first concert in Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England. A second was built for the concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 14 April 1969. It had two pan pots and four channels. Lost for many years it has now been found under the aegis of London ...

Summary This image shows a depression position finder DPF on the left and an azimuth scope on the right. Both instruments could be used to measure the azimuth of a target from the observation station the DPF could also be used to measure the range to the target. The DPF was normally installed with its heavy steel base bolted to an octagonal concrete pad that protruded 6 inches or so from the floor of the observation station. An azimuth scope was usually supported by a portable tripod, as shown here, although it could also be mounted to a concrete filled steel pipe. The pintle center of the DPF the cylindrical mount point in the center of the upper platform, with the H shaped trusses to its front and rear was taken as the point being observed from, and its latitude and longitude were precisely determined by survey techniques. This position was used in triangulating the position of the observed target. This position was often also marked by means of a brass survey marker emplaced in the roof of the fire control structure, directly above the pintle center location. The operator of the DPF is seated on a wooden bench, using the DPF to waterline a target placing the crosshairs on the ship s waterline, just under its forward mast . When the operator indicated that he had the target sighted correctly, the talker to his left wearing the telephone set would read the azimuth and possibly also the distance to the target off of dials on the DPF and repeat these data to the plotting room, where they were used in the fire control process. The azimuth scope was often used in the process of spotting the fall of fire shell splashes from the battery being directed and to call out corrections to the battery s aim over, short, left, or right . The cross shaped wooden standard hanging on the wall behind the DPF in this photo is a guide for spotting shell splashes. Spotting was not always used, however. It was argued that adjusting fire in this manner could reduce rather than improve its ... more details
