Please do scan the whole thing when you are able. I can OCR the
Japanese text (or Acrobat can, at least...I'll have no idea what it
says :)

Got it. OCR'd and posted here:
http://chiclassiccomp.org/docs/index.php?dir=%2Fcomputing/Hitachi
The text on the title page goog-lates to "Thunder calculator for eye
control", which is certainly clear to me...

either that or I have :-))

So a Hitachi computer that provides/implements electronic control.
I love google translate sometimes :-)

One of my earliest computer "game" memories, was at the Hitachi exhibit
from the 1964 New York Worlds Fair.
I remember a small single capsule that had a CRT display that gave a
simulation of a rocket launch.? The display showed a single point and
the axis on either side were labeled, probably altitude and speed.? I
dimly recall the controls as simple buttons. I've only found a few bits
of documentation on the web - http://nywf64.com/japan10.shtml where it
is listed as an Analog Computer and Capcel.??? When I went back in 1965,
the capsule was still there, but non-functional.
If anyone has info or recollections about the exhibit I'd be interested
and appreciative of in anything you might be willing to share.
