Electromechanical Building Blocks for the Model Engineer

Electronic and electromechanical control of machinery and equipment in the factory environment has been commonplace for many years and is steadily finding its place in the model engineer's workshop. This book gives the theoretical and practical details of electronic circuits that can be used to control machinery for the model engineer and experimenter.

There has recently been a huge expansion in computer and electronic controls which model engineer's have found desirable, yet expensive. Here, the author provides the vital information for the model engineer to build his own control units using a modular, or "building block", approach.

Very clear circuit diagrams and instructions are at the heart of the book, enabling the model engineer to analyse his requirements and assemble the building blocks using readily available components and commonplace workshop skills.
