VCO tug of war (A tale of two VCOs)

OK, I looked that up in a French-English distionary, and I still don't get it.

Sure. "Etre en cloque", litterally something like "to be blistered" is slang for to be up the spout.

You can demonstrate this quite graphically at home with some string and a couple of weights. Start with a piece of string strung across a door frame, at about eye level, It can be taped in place, or whatever. Now, take two more pieces of string, maybe 18" (1/2m) long, and tie them at 1/3 and 2/3 the length of the horizontal string, and attach a weight of some kind to the end of each, preferable equal weithts. (a fishing sinker, a stack of washers, whatever. You should have this:

---------------------------- | | | | | | | | |--__ __--| | --__ __-- | | +----------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | O O | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

-------------------------------------------

(which should be obvious which is strings and which is weights)

Pick one of the weights and pull it toward you and release it, to make it a pendulum that's swinging through the doorway.

Watch and see what happens. :-)
