LARGER ANALOG COMPUTERS WITH NUMERICAL CONTROL-SYSTEM AND WITH NUMERICAL PRINTOUT OF THE SOLUTION,
Abstract
The article reports results of full-scale operation of the ANALOGON computer at the Rechenzentrum der Flugtechnicheschen Versuchsanstalt (Computing Center of the Flight Engineering Test Station) at Letnany. In achieving high precision and low computation time, the following measures were considered of the greatest importance: (1) central location of parts of the digital amplifier circuits with feedback in an area with precise temperature control; (2) employment of helical potentiometers with windings strictly following a certain law; (3) servomechanical installation of potentiometers utilizing a keyboard or perforated tape; (4) attachment of a digital voltmeter, a high-speed printer, and precision timer; (5) use of changeable programming panels; and (6) inclusion of circuits for high-speed regulation of switching and of time and amplitude values. These features are treated in detail, and appropriate circuit diagrams are given. (Author)
