An amplidyne is an electromechanical amplifier invented during World War II by Ernst Alexanderson. It is usually an AC motor driving a DC generator with modifications to increase the power gain available. A small electrical signal can control the position of a large motor using this approach.

How it works
An amplidyne is a special case of a motor generator. A motor generator is just what it sounds like, a motor and a generator on a common shaft. Energy comes from the motor, and the power output is controlled by changing the field current of the generator. In a typical generator the load brushes are positioned perpendicular to the magnetic field flux. To convert a generator to an amplidyne you connect what would be the load brushes together and take the output from another set of brushes that are parallel with the field. The perpendicular brushes are now called the 'quadrature' brushes. This simple change can increase the gain by a factor of 10,000 or more.
(I need to clean up some pictures from the NEETS module on 'Generators and Motors' and upload them. If you want to see them, follow this link then Next through four pages of detailed information. Amplidynes start part way down the page.)
How it is used in a gun mount

Amplidyne circuit as used in U.S. Navy naval gun control.
In its simplest form, an amplidyne follow-up system consists of:
a synchro control transformer;
an amplifier;
the amplidyne motor-generator, which is similar to a Ward Leonard control drive;
and the follow-up DC motor which drives the load to be positioned.
Chapter 10 of the U.S. Navy manual Naval Ordnance and Gunnery, Volume 1 (1957) explains the operation of the amplidyne:
"The synchro control transformer receives the order signal which indicates electrically what the position of the load should be. The rotor of the synchro control transformer is turned by the response shaft, which is geared to the load and so indicates what the position of the load actually is. The synchro compares the actual load position with the ordered position; and, if the two do not agree, it generates an alternating-current signal which is transmitted to the amplifier. The angular difference between the two positions is called the error, and the signal to the amplifier is the error signal. The error signal indicates by its electrical characteristics the size and direction of the error. If no error exists, the system is said to be in correspondence and the error signal is zero."
Applications
Amplidynes were initially used to point naval guns, and later, land artillery.
Later used to control processes in steelworks.[citation needed]
Used to remotely operate the control rods in early nuclear submarine designs (S3G Triton).[citation needed]
Many elevators used to use amplidynes.[citation needed]
