Control System Components: Programmer: Transducer

The transducer is a throttling device, with its vacuum level set by balancing an air force against a ball with a magnetic attraction between the armature and pole piece. The low operating force and efficient structure of the MK II transducer results in substantially lower electrical power requirements to drive the system.
