T

TONES

Musical sounds [10].

TOP-HAT

An antenna that is center-fed and capacitively loaded [17].

TORQUE

A measure of how much load a machine can turn. This measurement is expressed either in ounce-inches for torque synchro systems or in pound-feet for heavy machinery [15].


TORQUE DIFFERENTIAL RECEIVER

(TDR)—A type of differential synchro that takes two electrical inputs, one to the rotor and one to the stator, and produces a mechanical output. The output is the angular position of the rotor that represents the algebraic sum or difference of the two electrical inputs [15].


TORQUE DIFFERENTIAL SYNCHRO SYSTEM

A synchro system containing either a TDX or a TDR. This system is used in applications where it is necessary to compare two signals, add or subtract
the signals, and furnish an output proportional to the sum or difference between the two signals [15].


TORQUE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMITTER

(TDX)—This type of synchro is functionally the same as the CDX, except that it is used in torque systems rather than control systems [15].


TORQUE GRADIENT

A term used in the rating of torque synchros. It is expressed in the number of
inch-ounces of torque required to pull a specific synchro 1 degree away from its normal position; for example, 0.4 inch-ounce per degree [15].


TORQUE RECEIVER

(TR)—A type of synchro that converts the electrical input supplied to its stator
back to a mechanical angular output through the movement of its rotor [15].


TORQUE SYNCHRO SYSTEM

A synchro system that uses torque synchros to move light loads such as dials, pointers, and other similar devices [15].


TORQUE TRANSMITTER

(TX)—This type of synchro is functionally the same as the CX, except that it
is used in torque synchro systems [15].
