✦ Synopsis

The standard stepping relay is the key computing element of a new "Sampled-Data-Analog

Computer" which is being constructed by The Franklin Institute Laboratories' Nuclear Engineering Division. Designed primarily for the solution of partial differential equations, the new computer extends the domain of the analog computer to complex, distributed-parameter problems which were formerly considered the domain of the digital computer.

The Sampled-Data-Analog Computer has been designed as a versatile tool for nuclear engineering.
