==Practical examples== [[File:X-15 Analog computer.jpg|thumb|[[North American X-15|X-15]] simulator analog computer|alt=|260x260px]] These are examples of analog computers that have been constructed or practically used: {{div col}} * [[Analog Paradim]], a modular analog computer produced by anabrid * [[Boeing B-29 Superfortress]] Central Fire Control System * [[Deltar]] * [[E6B]] [[flight computer]] * [[Ishiguro Storm Surge Computer]] * [[Kerrison Predictor]] * [[Leonardo Torres y Quevedo]]'s Analogue Calculating Machines based on "fusee sans fin" * [[Librascope]], aircraft weight and balance computer * [[Mechanical computer]] * [[Mechanical watch]] * Mechanical [[integrator]]s, for example, the [[planimeter]] * [[Mischgerät (V-2 guidance computer)]] * [[MONIAC]], economic modelling * [[Nomogram]] * [[Norden bombsight]] * [[Rangekeeper]], and related fire control computers * [[Scanimate]] * [[SR-71]] inlet control system (fast adjustment of inlet geometry to prevent super-sonic shock waves from causing engine flame-out at high mach numbers) * [[THE ANALOG THING]], a small analog computer by anabrid * [[Torpedo Data Computer]] * [[Torquetum]] * [[Water integrator]] {{div col end}} [[Analog synthesizer|Analog (audio) synthesizers]] can also be viewed as a form of analog computer, and their technology was originally based in part on electronic analog computer technology. The [[ARP 2600]]'s Ring Modulator was actually a moderate-accuracy analog multiplier. The Simulation Council (or Simulations Council) was an association of analog computer users in US. It is now known as The Society for Modeling and Simulation International. The Simulation Council newsletters from 1952 to 1963 are available online and show the concerns and technologies at the time, and the common use of analog computers for missilry.<ref name="J4K6F">{{cite web|url=http://scs.org/history/SimCouncilNewsletters/Default.htm|title=Simulation Council newsletter|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528123159/http://www.scs.org/history/SimCouncilNewsletters/Default.htm|archive-date=2013-05-28}}</ref>
