The Switch as a Simple Machine (pdf paper)
A short article proposing that the switch be added to the list of simple machines. Basically just an arguement that the switch is just as important as the lever, inclined plane, pully or screw. Since our world in now dominated by switches, it seems like the simple machine list is due for an update. Really just for entertainment because we like switches a lot.
The History of Switching Systems (pdf paper)
The first chapter of a book on switching systems. Covers the evolution of the programmable switching systems from ancient irrigation to modern automated telemetry switches. It covers telephone switch boards, traffic control, automated test, data acquisition and advanced communication switches. Sections on control interfaces such as TTL, RS232, GPIB, LAN and USB. Sections on switches run from computer buses such as STD80 ( Standard Bus or Simple to Design Bus), VME, VXI, PCI and PXI. While it is all in relation to applications for switching systems, it contains historical references that may be interesting to anyone involved in the fields of automated test, data acquisition and communications.
Model 7721 Line Length Switch
Product Details ( pdf Bulletin )
These Chassis controls up to 30 2x2 modules with 2 to 8 wires per module for building line length simulations.
