A pulse distributer which provides on a single output line a number of pulses equal to the binary number loaded into a register R, comprises a shift register C, the binary number in which is counted up by one at each cycle, and an inhibit gate which effectively passes each newly-generated "1" to gate G. During the course of the number of cycles required to count the contents of C up from zero to zero again, there will be one newly-generated " 1 " in the most significant bit position of C, two in the next position, four in the next and so on. By presenting at each cycle the contents of R to G with the order of significance reversed a one in the least significant bit position of R would be passed out once, a one in the next twice, and so on. A number of registers R may be associated with a single register C so that the number in each register R controls its respective gate G to pass pulses to its respective output line.
