After determining optimal by field use of the prototype, a smaller and more rugged detector was made. This is the second generation of these new detectors with oscillating circuit inside instead of in the amplifier. (Natural frequency steady mass about 2 cycles.) A solenoid underneath steady mass gave remote control of condenser plate spacing for drift compensation.
