Hi All,
If you are interested in building your own
analog computer or just interested learning
more about how an analog computer works,
I found a PDF version of a 4 part construction
article on the web.
The article, I believe, is from Practical Electronics
Magazine (UK) (date unknown, probably late 1970s).
The amplifiers are 741 opamps. And the amplifiers
even have overvoltage indicators which is a sophisticated
feature usually found only on commercial computers.
Part 1 is how an analog computer works
Part 2 is construction details
Part 3 is wiring and testing
and Part 4 is programming and special circuits
The file 2.25 MB
Kronis, P., "Analogue Computer", Parts 1, 2, 3, 4
