Hi All
I saw a video about the systems used in 1950's and 1960's bombers for
navigation and bomb aiming.
I think they could be classed as a computer even lacking a stored program. I just
wondered if anybody had collected or restored such equipment.
I once heard an old retired SAC US Air force guy describe them as a "box of
cogs". Boy was he right
I don't know the air craft kind, but the Navy used analog computers for gunnery.
There's an excellent training film online:
