I forgot all about mt GE Analog computer from the late 50's. Still have
it, it still works even though most of the insulation on the wiring has
rotted away. I keep meaning to rewire it but never seem to get to it.
I should, though. I have already showed my grandson how a slide rule
works. (My collection includes a hanging wall sliderule!!) It might
prove interesting to show him how you can do the same math on the
analog computer.
