Abstract
An apparatus for controlling the level of liquid steel in a continuous-casting mold wherein the position of the molten steel level within the mold is detected by a coil juxtaposed therewith and forming part of a resonant circuit controlling an oscillator. The capacitor portion of this resonant circuit is formed at least in part by a coaxial cable connecting the coil to the balance of the oscillator circuit. The output frequency of the oscillator is combined with the signal of a reference oscillator in a modulator, the low-frequency passband of this signal is then transformed into an analog voltage proportional to frequency and is used to control a servomotor which regulates the feed of molten metal to the mold.
