a much better way even though one pays a price in having more transistor
noise in the circuit.
I've long wondered if a very slow AGC might avoid the nonlinear

issue except, of course, for things happening within the AGC loop's
bandwidth.
That's the Wein bridge stabilized by a light bulb, popularized by
Messrs Hewlett and Packard a while ago.

Hello everybody, excuse me please,
but I see quite often mentioned the 'Wein bridge'. (Wein in german is
'vino' or 'wine' ;-)
Not of real technical importance, but shouldn't this not be correctly
called a 'Wien bridge'?
As I know that this tricky circuit was developed by Max Wien in 1891.
Max Karl Werner Wien was a German physicist and the director of the
Institute of Physics at the University of Jena at that time.
(sorry, I am a nut ;-) )
Ah yes. And I imagine then that the pronounciation should be in english
"veen"
