[sci.electronics] Info request: accelerometers

skank@portia.Stanford.EDU (Forked Tongue Redlich) (10/03/90)

I'm trying to find information on accelerometers.  In particular,
I'm interested in those which are accurate on the range of plus-
or-minus 2 G's (although I'm not familiar with the technical
terminology in the field), and which report the information
electronically.

Frankly, I don't know a hell of a lot about them, but I couldn't
find much of anything in our libraries on the subject.  Any info
on the subject, especially a good introductory book and/or the
names of companies which make accelerometers, would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Warren Redlich
