      But your Russian calculator didn't have valves in it, I assume.

              I once did a course on analogue computers in about 65. You didn't really program them as such, you just breadboarded the blocks - integrators, differentiators, summers etc. with jumper leads to get the required equation. Think they did hybrid computers later that you programmed conventionally to configure the analogue circuit.

                Hi, Xog. Yup, it was a bit of a trick question really.

                When I was busy doing the wonderfully titled "Council of Engineering Institutions Part II" in 1978, a fair percentage of the Computing course was still taken up with Analogue Computers and their programming.

                Never had call to use any of it, strangely enough. All that scaling of variables makes my head hurt.

                Now, does anyone remember plated wire memory?
