Ward Beck Systems schematics

[StephenGiles]

Some very interesting schematics here including a compressor/limiter - perhaps a little more complicated than say a Dynacomp, but maybe it's best to look at these things before.........the day after tomorrow!

Was there supposed to be a link or am I blind/stupid?  BTW funny you should mention Ward Beck, didn't they invent a meter scale, similar to the BBC PPM scale?.  I was doing some work on this recently.

I was probably getting carried away with learning that my second grand daughter was born yesterday morning!

wo... spin out.

WBS provided Australias Parliament House with the entire intercom system.  Over 200 individual intercoms, able to talk to any other intercom, or groups thereof, via SIX FULL SIZE RACKS OF ANALOGUE AMPS AND ROUTING!

This is the oldest and most reliable beast that I work with.  Nobody here knows much about it because we've never had to fix it!

Still, modern equivalents take up less than 1/3 the space for the same functionality.

Well built stuff though!
