TEXT 5 AUTOMATIC CONTROL

History provides very early examples of automatic control, but they were little used in industry. Progress was slow until this century, but it received an important stimulus from the military needs of the last war and the pace has accelerated.

Automatic control is most advanced in industries like chemicals, oil refining and food-processing, where materials are easy to handle. Because of it these indus-tries have become highly automatic without any of the well-known inventions, such as transfer-machines and electronic computers. Control is also largely automatic in

the manufacture of goods so different as iron and steel, cement and paper.....
 

I. Get ready to answer the following questions:

When did progress in automatic control receive an important stimulus? In what industries is automatic control most advanced?

What basic Texts does a system of control usually consist of? What kind of controlling instruments do you know?

What Texts are used to give "remote" control?

II. Ask questions on all the parts of the following sentences:

Fresh applications of automatic control are still being found everywhere. Orders for hundreds of computers of all sizes have been placed by enterprises.
