It's a bridge for a transducer like a strain gauge or thermocouple. To avoid drift, a low frequency AC (chopped) signal is used instead of DC.

Looks pretty clean.....well worth fixing up if it needs fixing.

Thank you.

It actually works, I managed to use the left part of the 'Bridge Supply' selector with a Wheatstone bridge, but I have no idea how to use the right part, the half-bridge...

It's pretty big, I wonder what kind of application needs that (unless there are no other choices back in the days ?).

+You haven't seen a big bridge till you've lugged around a General Radio 916. :)
