+The '''Tektronix 3C66 Carrier Amplifier''' is a plug-in [[introduced in 1963]] for
 [[560-series scopes]].
 It is designed to amplify signals from transducers such as strain gauges, whose
 impedance varies based on, for example, mechanical strain.
 These transducers are usually connected in a bridge circuit.

 The 3C66 provides built-in variable impedances for balancing the bridge.  Because the
