Summary

[edit]
Description

A DC analog computer that is part of the targeting system in the detector van. Inputs for calculation such as missile position or velocity are converted into voltages or physical quantities such as movements of gears for calculation. These calculations translate into controls for guiding the missile so it reaches its designated target. A more comprehensive summary can be found on Florian's photo of the assembly here: www.flickr.com/photos/26020895@N04/7382328400/
