INTRODUOTIOI,i ···In Sept ;9 the PEENEMUENDE Experimental Center ordered several scientists of the' Technical Institute of DARMSTADT to meet at PEWEMUENDE. During the meet- ing these scientists. were informed of the intended large-scale experiments with· rocket-propelled missiles. Each was given specific assignments for developing various parts of the experimental projectiles. Source ~as assigned the following: a)' A device maintaining a constant frequency of 500. cycles in a 27-vol t current - of secondary importance. to the V-2, according to source. b) The automatic V-2 range-control unit (See III, below). c) Later, source had the task of developing measuring instruments for the HEIDEL- B"SRG cyclotrons~ II. !=.?. EXPERIME:r--r!.§_ AT PEENEMU~lWE The father of V-2, source sta+,cs, was Prof VON BRAUN, an engineer of little importance .before the war who had carried out some rocket experiments in the post - World War years together with OPEL Jr. When he proposed his V-2 ideas to the German General Staff in 1939, he was put in charge of the PZENEMUENDE laboratories • .Or STEINHOFF, only recently given tho title of professor, and describad by source·· as being exceptionally able, was o..ssignod to work on the oxpariments ..as a special- ist in electrical matters. " The research on V-2 proceeded very slowly at first. In spring 43, ho"wever, orders· to speed up the exporiments .arrived. Most of the component parts of V-2 were built and td.ed at PE.ZNEMUE!IDE; only a few devices were given t·o scientists for development outside the Sxperimental Genter. These wore given to the DARM- STADT Technical School professors for thG most part, because Prof Dr STEINHOF was a former student at that School. Source successfully completed the automatic range-control devices for tho V-2 by the end of 43,' but ho was still trying to improve it, as well as finding er- satz materials for some of its parts. Gon DORNBERGER, Knights 1 Cross holder, was CG of tho PEENEMUENDE Experimental Center. :II. A~TOMA'l'IO ~-CONTROL ~~ FOR .Y:@.

The only way to increase the range accuracy of the mie- ; · sHc is, -therefore, to cut off the fuel combustion NOT at a time set in advance, but only after the missile attains a definite velocity, calculated in advance. Thie, in turn, can be deduced through the well-known integration formula by con- si~eri,ng ~he ac.o.el~ration at the moment of oaoh explosion, i.e., at the instapt of' each. f'.orwa:rd thrust of tho missile. · '' a) Principlos Involved In source's device, tho thrust of the missilo at the instant of tho explosion is transformed into a direct current, which is proportional to this forward· thrust This current is directed through an electrolytic condenser previously charged with a capacity calculated to corrospond to tho velocity of the missile at· which the fuol combustion is to bo stopped. Duri11g tho flight of the missile, the gen- orated current builds up a char go equalizing that of the condenser. As so.on as tho charge thus built up reaches tho proportion of tho condonsor charge the re- sul'ting rupture of voltage oporatoe a mochanical dovico which stops the fuo_l coin .. bustiort. · · b) Operation (~ §..chomatic. P-,i~gr~, !ppondix) A rotating coil B is placod in th0 magnetic fiold A· In front of' tho coil, and placed ocoontrioally with it, is a copper plate O, which, in turn, is placed in tho contor of tho field originated by two coils, D 1 and D 1 t, through which passes an induction current of 500 cycloe. ,. When. the miseilo is givon a forward thrust at the instant of' oaeh explosion, tho mass of' tho copper plate 0 tends to move. By doing so, tho plate dieturbe .tho co~.s.tant magnetic fiold croatod by tho coil~ D1 and D' 1 • The current created in tho coils 't) 1 and D' 1 originatos in ·tho secondary of tho transformer E an al- ternating. curr.on~ which is applied to th~ grid of tubo R'. Thie current flows through t~o transformer F into tho copper oxide rectifier G, and from horo, as (pulsating) D.O, it charges special oloctrolytic condoneor H and flows back to tho rotating coil B. Hero it croe.tos a rupture of voltage which nullifies tho original, effect of the :f'orwe.rd thrust of tho missile on thG copper plate o. " As tho ourront flowing through tho Valvo H booomos equal to tho pro- det·orminod ohargo stored thorc, a dischargo of voltage occurs, which ie improssod on tho grid of ·tubo R11 • . 1 · A relay J, placod in tho plate circuit of tubo R 1 , is operated by this grid roaotion and, in turn, oporatoe the mechanical device which stops tho fuel com- bustio.n. . PW eta.toe that an accuracy of .001 is obtained by this dovicG. In ordor to charge tho oloctrolytic condonsor H, source developed ~n inetru~ mont (KONTAKTUHR) which operated on a 50 ... oyclo curront.
