3A80.20 | Lissajous figures - scope | Disc 08-26 | Use two independent generators to show Lissajous figures on a scope. |
3A80.21 | Lissajous figures | S-1e | Lissajous figures on a scope and three other methods in a reprint. |
3A80.22 | Lissajous figures - scope | 15-3.3 | Two sine waves are produced by coupling a variable speed motor to one pot in each of two Wheatstone bridge circuits. |
3A80.30 | Lissajous bar | S-8 | An oscillating one meter long bar with the width to length ratio a small integer will show a Lissajous pattern when clamped at one end and viewed from the other. |
