The Telefunken RA 770 Analog Computer

The same guy of this website also sells a modern version of the Telefunken mainframe, see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;analogparadigm.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;analogparadigm.com&#x2F;</a> and an arduino-like version, see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;the-analog-thing.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;the-analog-thing.org&#x2F;</a> Both pop up at HN from time to time.

In the same vein, Ars Technica did an amazing story on analog computers in the US Navy a few years ago:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;information-technology&#x2F;2020&#x2F;05&#x2F;gears-of-war-when-mechanical-analog-computers-ruled-the-waves&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;information-technology&#x2F;2020&#x2F;05&#x2F;gears...</a>

Immediately reminded me of &quot;Telefunken U47&quot;. RIP Frank Zappa.

Dude in my town had a mid-60s Telefunken van. I was maybe 12 years old (late 70s) when I&#x27;d see it driving around. It was lost on me, but I appreciate the memory.

What were the particular applications for the RA 770 compared to other analog computers?
