How did Simon differ from other simple relay machines,
like the first
Stibitiz calculators? It was more general purpose, it was portable, and
it was popularized in the press. 13 articles on Simon appeared in
Radio-Electronics in 1950 and 1951.
Is there any information about the architecture of this
machine on the web? A brief googling doesn't seem to turn
up anything with much detail.
