notes: label: Description
content: This pulse height analyzer made by the Tullamore Div. of The Victoreen Instrument Co. in Cleveland, Ohio, consists of four separate vacuum tube instruments in an open-front cabinet. They are, from top to bottom: a Model 2051 GT Scaler; a Model AD-120 Amplifier Digitizer; a Model A-100 Linear Amplifier; and a Model S3HV High Voltage Scaler. Herbert M. Clark, the professor of chemistry at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute who used this in his laboratory, claimed that it was one of the first commercially available multi-channel analyzers for spectrometry, and the analog to digital converter was based on circuitry developed in AEC laboratories.
