Abstract :
This paper describes an experimental incremental computer using time-shared equipment. The basic operation provides approximate numerical integration by adding rectangular areas. There are 45 integrators in the computer, the integrands being represented serially by up to 22 bits at a digit rate of 500 k/second. Thenumber of bits representing the values of increments in the computer is easily varied. A computer of more economical and flexible design is also described.
