The paper outlines a specially adapted stability criterion for linear control systems with distributed lags. The stability is studied with respect to two variable parameters, ie the loop-gain and the distributed lag. The criterion employs an easily constructed chart prepared beforehand and only requires the plotting of two curves derived from the open-loop transfer function. The stability of a simple control system is investigated to illustrate the scheme.
