The mag",,' ic III" of a permanMI magnel
(broken lines Fig. 30). and lhal of an elec-
troma~nel (unbroken lines Fij' 30). are
superimposed upon each 01 Or in Ihe
magnelic poles and their air gaps. The per·
manenl magnel is actuslly lurned through
goo referred 10 the focal plane.

t rical a nd 01 eq uall engl h. a nd II ow from Ihe
poles. across Ihe air gaps 10 Ihe armature,
and then through Ihe armalur •.
In the Iwo diagonally opposed air gaps
(Fig. 30, L2.L3). the permanenl-magnet
1Iu.. and the electro·magneillu. resufling
Irom Ihe incomin~ EeU control signal. are
added. whereas <n Ihe olher two air gaps
(Fig. 30. L I.L4) the lIu,es are subtracted
Irom each other. This means thai in each
air gap the armalur.e. which moves too
b-ame plale, is subJecled to a lorce of
atlraction proportional 10 Ihe squareof the

the con Irol current 1rOm I he feU flowing in
Ihe electromagnet coil. the resu lting t",-

j he basic moment 01 lorce applied to the
armalure has been selected so lhal when
no currenl is applied from Ihe EeU. there
results a basic differential pressure which
corresponds prelerablytoA - I. Thisalso
means that in case 01 control current fai·
