Master Control Panel

 Key Features and Labels:

 SYNC, PULSE, SWEEP, INTRR

• SYNC / SYNC ENGAGE: Synchronizes system signals—crucial for keeping oscilloscopes, scopes, and TV outputs aligned with simulator feedback.

• PULSE / KILL PULSE: Likely injects or halts a triggering pulse across circuits for timing or feedback systems.

• SWEEP: Might relate to waveform or scope behavior—controlling how a signal is swept or scanned.

• INTRR (interrupt): Could temporarily halt a process—like a signal or cycle interrupt.

 FAIL / MONITOR / COMPUTER

• FAILURE and FAIL lights: Indicate system or signal failure—possibly tied to simulation logic or power drops.

• MONITOR: Might toggle a display source—switching between simulation channels or scopes.

• COMPUTER POT / COMPUTER: Points to a potentiometer or input line tied to a computing element (possibly a separate analog computer or patchboard).

 Meters

• Nine analog meters are probably used for:

  • Monitoring voltages, currents, or signal amplitudes

  • Confirming system conditions (e.g., servo output, loop gain, error margins)

 MON. AUDIO / HOR. AUDIO / VERT. TRIG

• These lower switches hint at audio channel routing and triggering signals for horizontal and vertical waveform displays.

• Suggests integration with oscilloscopes or video scopes, possibly feeding into the CRT monitor next to it.

 Function Within the Larger System:

This panel let the operator:

• Start and stop sequences

• Inject test signals

• Monitor performance across multiple simulation nodes

• Interface with scopes, sensors, and signal logic

In short—it’s the mission control of the analog simulator setup.
