A new solid state electronic iterative differential analyzer making maximum use of integrated circuits

The feasibility of really fast hybrid computation was demonstrated by the development and application of The University of Arizona's ASTRAC II. But, no machine commercially available to date has the required mode-control switching speed and low---impedance computing networks; and most computers do not have the required amplifier bandwidth. The development of the LOCUST system represents an attempt to design a truly producible very fast computer at moderate cost.
