Abstract: A flexible elongated loop fastening device for attaching to and securing multiple cords in bundle configurations to itself. The loop fastening device includes a notched and apertured band that is first looped around the cord element to be secured by passing through itself then extending about the remaining coil cord elements and pass through itself again securing same.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the speed of response and display accuracy of a periodic input signal, of the type having a widely variable frequency, on an analog gauge have a meter deflection representative of the frequency of the input signal. Frequency scaling means are provided for multiplying the frequency of the input signal by a first constant to generate an intermediate signal. Counting means are coupled to the frequency scaling means for counting the frequency of the intermediate signal for a time period which is directly proportional to the maximum sweep deflection arc of the gauge times a second constant, and is inversely proportional to the maximum expected frequency of the input signal. Meter driver means coupled to the counting means are provided for deflecting the meter proportional to the counted intermediate signal frequency.
