Abstract: A tool is for installing a yoke on a shaft which has a threaded end and an enlarged splined portion adjacent the threaded end. The yoke has a splined opening therethrough which is dimensioned to pass over the threaded end to be received with an interference fit on the splined portion of the shaft. The tool has a tubular ram supported on a power cylinder with its piston rod extending into the interior of the tubular ram. A gripping member is mounted on the piston rod and is capable of gripping the threaded end of the shaft so that the end of the tubular ram forces the yoke on the splined portion of the shaft as the gripping member pulls the shaft toward the power cylinder.

Abstract: An a-c source of power is utilized to provide periodic d-c pulses of predrmined amplitude, duration, and frequency by synchronizing the delay sweep of a cathode ray oscilloscope with the sine wave of the a-c voltage input, timing the delay sweep to provide an output signal at the desired frequency and at the particular point on the sine wave which will impart the desired voltage peak thereto, and utilizing each output signal to trigger a first silicon controlled rectifier for initiating a current pulse while simultaneously providing a corresponding signal with a given delay for firing a second silicon controlled rectifier to terminate the current pulse and establish the duration desired thereof.
