Hybrid computers for process control

Abstract

There is a need in industry for equipment of moderate complexity and cost capable of solving simple process control equations at high speed. Quite economical process control and processing of instrumentation data may be accomplished by a hybrid computer. This tool combines the best features of analog and digital systems with a simplicity and economy unavailable in either, to produce a unique combination which is capable of operating at extremely high speeds and accuracies, over large numerical ranges.
