Stan Meyers Figure 9XB vs Figure 12

it seems that there are a few different ways to hook up those 7490 ICs
on 9XB timer pin 3 input to pin 14 on the left with pin 11 as the output of the 7490
connect 2367 &10 to ground and use pin 5 as VCC (5+)
connect 1 & 12 together and you have a divide by 10 counter
On my figure 12 simulation i used the same power and ground pins as before, but had the 555 pin 3 go to pin 14 input and used pin 11 as the output.
this time i left 1 and 12 unconnected and i got a Divide by 2 counter
Which is the best?
If both start with a center frequency of 40Khz on the 555 pot
and 9xb then gives 4Khz - 400 Hz - 40Hz as the choices
while:
fig 12 ( as a divide by 2 setup)
would give 20Khz - 10Khz and 5Khz
what is the reason behind the divide by 10 or the divide by 2 selectors in this circuit ?
DOES ANYONE HAVE THE ANSWER?
?

What is 9xB? Is that the "gas type" switch ? -

This is how fig 12 should be setup.

youre missing the point of my question... why not divide by 2 ?
the 50 % duty cycle is not possible with a 555 timer @ 40Khz unless the values for the pot and caps is way different than what the patent drawing shows (9XB)
to get a 50% duty cycle you need a 1.8k resistor between pin 7 and 6/2 and a 7nf cap between pins 6/2 and ground, then you need a 5k pot with a head and tail of 10 ohms...this gets you colse to 50% duty cycle at 40Khz
What i believe stan did was shoot for 40Khz center frequency and divide by 2 on the figure 12 circuit to get a clean 20Khz 50% duty cycle through the counter and the added benefit of having 10Khz and 5Khz for various timing functions in the HGMS system.
With a divide by 10 we get 1 dirty 40Khz signal to start with then we get 4 Khz 400Hz and 4 Hz these frequencies are too low to be of any use???
any comments on the functionality ?
@tony
will multisim 11 open multisim10 files???

all u need is the divide by 10...based on the perimeters of the gated pulse generator, you will only need frequencies between 0hz-200hz...so no need for frequencies higher than that. -

to remain true to stans original patent documents
In the stan meyer full data document we find ( and in the new zealand video) he mentions 10KHZ resonant frequency
open the full data PDF and search for every occurance of the term "hz" . you will find the following:
resonant frequency 1 khz up to and beyond 10khz...
10khz for faster response to acceleration
variable pulse frequency generator maintaining a 50% duty cycle 10 khz or above, clock signal to accelerator ( output "G" )
\top of page 1-9 leds firing at 1 hz to 65 hz
Optoschmitt, LED pickup circuit at 100Khz
that pretty much says it all
Tony, your Ms10 files open with Ms11, thanks
I noticed that your figure 12 555 timer only has a range of 1.2Khz to 12.115 Khz and the duty cycle on the 555 is nowhere near 50% duty cycle
so the first thing that comes to mind is a divide by 10 counter... the result would be 1.2 Khz.... how do we get the 10Khz 50% duty cycle clock signal from the full data document then?
(thinking outside the box)
thanks again

fig 12 controls the gate pulse frequency. The PLL is responsible for resonance of the LC circuit. The gate pulse frequency will be a fairly low frequency, not up to 10khz...Ive tested the frequency range with my circuit and anything over 200hz wont show up at all.
