The Nordsieck computer

Published:04 February 1953Publication History

ABSTRACT

After some experience with a mechanical differential analyser of the Bush type, the author became convinced that there was a need for a smaller, cheaper instrument of this type with a faster and more convenient setup procedure. The large instruments are so large and expensive mainly because of the torque amplifiers they contain and are somewhat inconvenient to use because, aside from considerations of accessibility to the individual researcher, they have rather long and complicated setup procedures.
