While the
Norden bombsight was smaller, etc., it would be stretching it
by a
large degree to compare it to a computer.. I'm fairly certain Allison was
referring to the Mark I...
It's not stretching it at all to consider the Norden to be an analog
computer. I'm not really sure how it could be considered to be otherwise.
Its a single purpose device. Computers tend to be flexible. I would call it
more of a calculator, or really a mechanical compensator.
