Abstract
Cigarette-rod weight monitoring system in which the signals from a scanner, e.g. a nucleonic device such as Molins 'MODIC', are processed and stored in a memory in a digitized form, and the memory contents are used to drive an analog display device. These signals, which represent the individual cigarettes, or short lengths, are accumulated in the memory over a period which is sufficiently long for a statistically significant distribution pattern to be achieved, so that the shape of the distribution curve can be observed to determine whether it is 'normal' or whether any skews or other irregularities are present. In addition the accomulated signals can be analyzed in various ways to provide quantitative measurements of overall standard deviation, or effective standard deviation either side of the mean to show whether any 'skews' exist. S.D. can be calculated for whole cigarettes or short lengths for different diagnostic purposes.
