In those days computers consisted mainly of transistors, resistors, diodes, capacitors and miles of wiring. |
Horowitz designed an electric circuit in which appropriate resistors replaced the springs and devices known as Zener diodes replaced the strings. |
In this transform, springs are inductors, masses are capacitors. and dampers are resistors. |
The first switch group is formed by switches, which are connected to nodes between the resistors. |
Two measurement pads are in each case provided at the nodes between two resistors. |
Several of the inductors were burned out, the solenoid was split, and several of the resistors had broken loose. |
