Analogue Computer knowhow?

[Matthew S. Padden]

Hi..

	I just rescued an Electronic Associates EAI-180 analogue computer from the 
jaws of the waster disposers. Looks the business (if a little dusty!). The 
last remaining of five; wish I'd found out sooner!

Seems to have various logic functions, DFGs (dual function generators?), 
4-quadrant multipliers (0.6% distortion quoted), comparators, integrators,  
eight step logic counter, summers, precision pot references, and various 
other things. Not much info with it on detailed operation though. Seems to 
be built around 1967. Does anyone have any more details of these machines, 
such as voltage levels, reliability, interesting applications etc etc?

Thanks in advance
