There is a datasheet produced by GE for their turboencabulator, from 1963 or so.  I think if you hunt on wikipedia for turboencabulator, there is a link to the datasheet.

Funnily enough, the Eng-Tips search did not find it yet it has been posted in one forum or another a good many times.

A search for entabulator returns



... which is this thread, but note that the title has become the first two lines of the OP.

Strange!

Wow,

I had just asked if anyone remembered where to find this in a very recent thread in some forum or the other.

I think VPL mentioned the link.

Funny that it has come up again here.

For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cognal [?] grammeters. Such an instrument is the Turboencabulator... Now, basically, the only new principle involved is that, instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magnetoreluctance and capacitave directance. The original machine had a baseplate of prefamulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric famm. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic Marzel vanes so fitted to the ambifacient lunar wane shaft that side-fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal Lotus-O-Delta type, placed in panandermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible Tremi pipe to the differential girdle spring on the upper end of the grammy.

The Turboencabulator has now reached a high level of development, and it's being successfully used in the operation of nover-trunnions. Moreover, whenever a fluorescent score motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration. It's not cheap, but I'm sure the government will buy it [holds up "$750,000,000" sign].

Evidently 750 million dollars was considered a lot of money back then.  

Hmmm.
So does this mean I am imagining it or that the Eng-Tips search function is about as useful as it has always been?

Sorry John.  Shows that I wasn't reading the thread closely.

You can't find it because you are looking for the wrong word- Encabulator turns up two other relevant threads of which this is one:
