This isn't just "a Heathkit". This is a Heatkit analog computer, one of
a number of analog computer models produced by Heath. And it is a nicely
done article, describing a restoration and now-unfamiliar components;
vacuum tubes not the least of them. The subject functionality itself is
unfamiliar. Now 21st century persons have been introduced to this 1960's
tech and mid-century analog computers. There's a companion brief article
on earlier large scale analog computers and their role in engineering
and science.
So persons interested in these subjects should review this article.
Regards, Herb
