Re: [neonixie-l] Re: 2 Hickok Ford Vehicle Simulator Analog computers
Your on to something Tim. Look at all the time one could save. I didn't know that Hickok was into auto testing equipment but looks that way. Too bad there's not a date on those. Would be interesting to know when they were used. Can only imagine what's inside. On Monday, February 3, 2014 9:40 PM, lai...@wcoil.com lai...@wcoil.com wrote: I should have added these are on E-bay. Check out auction 350987319019. It appears to be partial analog computers made by Hickok that simulate Ford vehicles. Most likely solid state but check out the card readers. They look like cardmatic tube tester card readers. So maybe you could simulate the suspension on a Pinto and test a 6L6 on the same machine!

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: 2 Hickok Ford Vehicle Simulator Analog computers
We had an analog computer at the Sequoyah Nuclear plant that simulated reactor core dynamics. It had several banks of Nixie tube readouts, several strip chart recorders, probably 75 precision 10-turn pots with vernier dials and a big patch board. The patch board allowed different sections to be patched together - programmed - for different simulations. It was a quick-release affair so that several could be kept pre-programmed. There are no sensors. The unit is programmed with a set of initial conditions, on this unit using punch cards, and then started. The only things missing from these units are the patch cables - and the thick instruction manual on how to set them up. What is interesting is that Sequoyah now has a mainframe dedicated to calculating core dynamics - what a desktop analog computer could do faster.
