Yes, voltmeters. They could be jumpered into any part of the simulation
circuitry. As I understand it, they were used primarily to set up the
initial parameters more precise

Hickok is still around. They've specialized in automotive, since 1984, but
that doesn't mean that they didn't make any gear for that industry prior to
that date. More likely, just left the general instrument market around
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 p

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.

Fantastic... boat anchors!
What on Earth would you do with them? They're missing all the external
sensors etc.

Not a lot of people know this, but there's a 12 position version of those
pinball score units. They were made by Bally and used in their multiplier
slot machines for dividing by three and four. The ones I've seen didn't
have numbers printed on them so it would be easy to do 0-5 twice
