Part of a Modular Analog Computing and Cotrol Simulation System

About This Item

Part of a modular analog computing and control simulation environment, likely used to: Model dynamic physical systems (like flight control, thrust response, etc.), Teach control theory, signal processing, and electrical systems, Enable hands-on programming with voltages and patch cables.

Identifier
TP-ATA-1900
Context

Key Features:

  • Dense patching of cables between analog computing modules (op-amps, integrators, summers)

  • Dial-based controls on the top suggest reference voltage inputs or function generator tuning

  • The bottom panel contains a large voltmeter or output scope, likely for live signal readout or error tracking

 The sign on one of the units says "SFSC" - San Francisco State College.
