The General Radio 1750-A Sweep Drive was introduced in Catalog O (1956) and remained available through Catalog T (1968).
The Type 1750-A sweep drive is designed to mechanically sweep an oscillator through a flexible universal coupling. The sweep action is reciprocating motion of the attached oscillator's frequency control.
Front-panel controls are available for sweep arc, sweep speed, and manual rotation. The sweep drive provides two synchronized circuits, a horizontal voltage for oscilloscope deflection, and a blanking circuit which eliminates the return trace. With the mechanical sweep and the auxiliary circuits, an oscilloscope display is possible. For every cycle of the oscillator sweep, a blanking signal and horizontal deflection voltage are created. The blanking signal is produced by a synchronized, cam-operated blanking switch. The synchronized oscilloscope horizontal voltage is produced by the oscilloscope deflection rheostat. A set of limit switches are designed to stop the sweep motor if the limits are exceeded. One limit is fixed, the other is adjustable.
A system comprising the 1750-A sweep drive, an oscillator, and oscilloscope are used to create a spectrum display for the device of interest. The device can be a filter, amplifier, network or radio receiver.
Not all oscillators are compatible with the 1750-A, check the oscillator manual for compatibility.
