Aufbau und Arbeitsweise des Hybrid-Rechners TRICE
A German-language technical article by W. Ameling (EA GmbH Aachen) describing the construction and operation of the TRICE hybrid computer (Transistorized Realtime Incremental Computer), a transistorized incremental digital computer developed by Packard-Bell. The article explains the basic computational units (integrators, adders, multipliers, servo, and analog-digital converters), the programming method for systems of differential equations using incremental arithmetic, and the machine's performance characteristics including operation at up to 100 kHz iteration rate. Published in Elektronische Rechenanlagen, Vol. 4, No. 1, 1962, pp. 28-44.
