There was a Hewlett Packard generator called a two phase oscillator or maybe
it was two phase function generator. I forget the model number and don't
have any way to look it up. It featured two outputs and a dial calibrated
from 0 to 359 that would adjust the phase of one output with respect to the
other. Behind the panel was a little box which I didn't try to open but
the manual revealed it to have 3 coils, two at right angles to each other
and the third one on the shaft. It operated at 5 MHz. If memory serves
correctly, they called it a variable phase transformer.
