✦ Synopsis

Analog techniques are/?equently useJul to the engineer when soloing design problems. A simph, d.c. electrical analog is described which enables the design engineer to hwate and quant(/~v the ./brmation o/ plastic hinA, es m steel.[tame construction.

The derice is not intended as a substitute ./or the digital computer, but because q[ its initial low cost, the Jacility Jor varying the parameters qf the probh'm during et,aluation, and the large number o/ readings which become available jor detailed design, the device is a practical u'av of eliminating tedious routine calculation.
