  • Abstract
    This paper describes how an SDS-92 digital computer has been connected to a TR-48 analog computer by appropriate interface equipment to permit the high information rate capability of the analog computer and the precision of the digital computer to be combined into a practical hybrid system. The value of the hybrid computer as an educational tool is discussed. Some problems solved on the hybrid computer by students of the hybrid computer course at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Iowa, are illustrated.
