Welcome to the analog computer museum

The following pages are the result of my efforts to preserve analog computers and information about analog computing in general from being scrapped and lost. These efforts started many years ago when I fell in love with the general idea of analog computing being a teenager and reading the wonderful book "Analogrechnen" written by Prof. Giloi and Prof. Lauber.

Over the years analog computing became my passion and the more books and articles I read, the more machines the collection contained, the more I got hooked by this very special way of doing calculations.

The museum currently offers the following sub areas which might be of interest:

• Introduction: If you are a first time visitor you might want to read a little bit about analog computing in general.
• Collection: Over the years I managed to save some wonderful machines from scrap - most of these are on display in this section. If you are interested in visiting the collection feel free to contact me to make an appointment.
• Homebrew: This collection of pages shows some homebrew devices which I developed over the years to extend my analog computing capabilities.
• People: Here are some pages with pictures and stories from other persons who have been working with analog computers.
• Examples: To get an impression of analog computers at work, have a look at this section.
• Library: Here you can find lots of articles and other printed material about analog computing for download.
• Support: If you want to support the museum, please have a look here.
• What's new?: Changes and extensions to the online museum can be found here in a chronological sequence.
