Excellent presentation of quite well designed circuitry for that time. But I wonder, why standard signal tranmissions are not used in airplanes? Like 5...20 mA current. Noise is about 500 mV signals along the whole aircraft fuselage from backmotors to nose instruments is difficult to fight against.

Lots of support from Pakistan
Ce serait bien un feat avec Deux Ex Silicium. Il a beaucoup de matos pour inspecter et décortiquer les PCB.

Michel , will you remake any of them with modern components?.
Nice but i dont think this was used in the 727.
What is software for circuit diagram name?
PADS Logic
логарифмические усилители- преобразователи с диодами в обратной связи ?
No, here it would not work as log amp.
