Talk:ROTAN
I feel that the Rotan and Rotan-related pages are poorly organized at the moment. There are several pages and documents that pertain to Rotan and/or Engine Analyzer systems but there isn't much tying them together.
- 7B53
- 2B67
- PS501
- 183
- Engine Analyzer System
- 182
- ROTAN
- 3A74
- 561
- 564
- Engine Analyzer System Manual
- Measurement Concepts: Engine Analysis
- Tekscope Vol. 1 No. 2, Apr 1969

What should we do?
- Expand the existing Rotan page?
- Make a new Category for Rotan-related (and engine-related) stuff?
- something else?

- Since Rotan (better ROTAN) seems to refer specifically to the ~1958 magnetic angular transducer, I would keep this page but link it from Engine Analyzer System which does have an index of system components. I've added some crossreferences in the meantime. --Peter (talk) 01:18, 5 December 2023 (PST)
- I've tried to capture the chronology (as I understand it) in the preamble of the Engine Analyzer System article. Apparently, the ROTAN label was dropped between 1961 (182/183) and 1967. --Peter (talk) 02:46, 5 December 2023 (PST)
