These are some designs of various types I had published back in the 70s and 80s, that I have been able to recover from the UK magazine archives in the World Radio History site:  worldradiohistory.com 

 

RC Failsafe - A simple device to connect in line with an RC servo, to send it to a pre-set position if the signal is lost. It can also be used as a simple servo tester, with just a 5 - 6V power supply.

Originally published in Practical Electronics, December 1978.
