Voter?  But that's digital.  You mean a totally analog combiner that  
optimizes the overall variance.  See, there IS a use for that old  
analog computer plugboard you scavenged in 1970.  (Of course, you WILL  
be using Philbrick OpAmps with the vacuum tubes like the ones Bob  
Pease is always talking about)
