Hitachi 505E Analog/Hybrid Computer

© HITACHI 505E analog/hybrid computer TOTALLY NEW AGEIN The Hitachi 505E is a totally new state-of-the-art computer designed to aid in solving today's sophisticated yroblems. Despite its desk-top size, complete integrated hybrid system capability has become available f I i j § [ ) along with unbelievably low-cost servo-set potentiometers, automatic output selection unique digital logic components, and problem board. This 100-volt, all solid state machine provides the widest variety of choice both lor components and control structures. Choose for digital logic circuits, choose for fast switching electronic mode control, choice in servoset potentiometers, and even choice of complete in- tegrated hybrid computation system capability. HITACHI's over 18 years’ experience in the analog com- puter tield stands behind the 505E which is provided with the world’s most versatile and flexible me- chanical construction throughout.

The analog console is fully prewired for expanding the computer to a complete integrated hybrid computation system. Feasibility to accept hybrid control signals for automatic amplifier readout, automatic addressing and automatic setting of servo-set potentiometers, A-D, D-A lines, Ci Co signals, program interrupts, clocks, and mode control lines—all of these networks and structures are offered by an extensive hybrid computation system. SERVO-SET POTENTIOMETERS The HITACHI 505E accommodates either 108 manual potentiometers or 72 servo-set potentiometers and 36 manual potentiometers. The basic servo-set control structure requires only exceptionally low-cost addition. The servo-set system of the HITACHI 505E consists of the Servo- set Control Panel (CT-253A), Servo-set Potentiometer Patch Unit (SP-151), and Address Selector (SL-2525S). The Servo-set Control Panel (CT-253A) contains a servo amplifier, servo controller, and matrix inputs of an amplifier addressing and coefficient setup which may be terminated to the hybrid linkage. A POT-SET button (green, self-lighting) on the panel CT-251 auto- matically lights when the patchboard is engaged, allowing the Ad- dress Selector (SL-252S) to select a servoset potentiometer. A HYBRID button (red, self-lighting) located adjacent to the SET START button controls hybrid operation. As long as the HYBRID button is ON, the HITACHI 505E readily accepts addressing and coefficient setup signals from the hybrid linkage. In standard con- figuration, the reference potentiometer (0.1% linearity) on the Control Panel (CT-251) is used for generating coefficient setup in- put to the servo amplifier. A high-accuracy type reference poten- tiometer (0.0075% linearity) is optionally available. Every six servo-set potentiometers are grouped in the Servo-set Potentiometer Patch Unit (SP-151), individually provided with a high-performance servo induction motor. The SP-151 is mounted directly behind the patchboard so that it considerably reduces phase error and obtains accurate, reliable computer solutions. The Potentiometer Patch Unit, PT-151, may be replaced by the SP- 151 without console modification. Since the computer is prelimin- arily designed to fully accept either servo potentiometers or manual potentiometers, the user has a variety of choices when purchasing the machine.

Having different colors for each unit, the component layout, planned for maximum use of low-capacity bottle plugs, not only reduces lead length but simplifies wiring. An all-metal patch board reduces computer noise. Re- movable unit-by-unit panel structure eases component replacement and/or expansion. The colors used are subdued and elaborately selected from the viewpoint of human factor engineering, the marking on the patch panel carefully designed to provide easy identifi- cation of each component and its hole func- tion (e.g. numbering and lettering to the upper left of the hole is not hidden behind the fingers or pin-holders of patch cords while patching; printed by color between :wo holes shows that a bottle plug connec- tion is required for appropriate programs). Shielding is extended to the digital logic patch panel. THREE-CYCLE, HIGH- SPEED REPETITIVE OPERATION Among desk-top analog computers, the Hitachi 505E is, once again, the only computer available that features three-cycle, high-speed repetitive operation facilities. Hitachi 505E’s unique, three-channel monostable timer pro- vides three mode control signals with an independent time variable from 10s to Ims each. In fact, in optimization problems, for instance, 3-cycle repetitive operation among RESET, COMPUTE and HOLD, is a powerful operational means of reducing extra ampli- fiers and integrators which might be indis- pensable in usual 2-cycle repetitive operation. The timer may be used for other purposes, too, because of patchable control inputs and outputs available on both the analog and digital logic problem boards (i.e. CLEAR, RUN, STOP). EXTRA MODE, ALL- RESET Most analog computer users might not be familiar with the term ALL-RESET. May Hitachi computer engineers assume that some sort of mode to initialize all integrators patched for various modes are needed in your research by now? That is the mode, ALL-RESET. A patchable independent mode for integrators is now common to almost every analog computer in the field. How- ever, as scientific and industrial problems become more sophisticated on computer analysis, the simultaneous control mode which gives priority to individual patched mode is often needed. The mode, ALL- RESET, helps the programmer to reduce complicated logical patching and to save time. SELF-CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CONSOLE TEMPERATURE Despite its desk-top size, the Hitachi 505 is equipped with a self-control temperature system that maintains console temperature at 95°F +2°F and protects analog components, including amplifiers, integrators, multipliers, and so on from outside temperature. So, the Hitachi 505E does not require a bulky air conditioner and may be installed under normal living conditions (32°F to 95°F) for normal computer operation. Such a feature improves solution reliability and yields higher computer performance with less module adjustment. EXPANDABILITY FROM BASIC CONFIGURATIONS TO 124 AMPLIFIERS Because of its unified component arrange- ment, the Hitachi 505E is simply expandable from basic configurations with 10 operational amplifiers, 4 integrator networks, 18 poten- tiometers, etc. up to 124 operational am- plifiers and various combinations of nonlinear components without a single soldering ope- ration. The computer covers a wide range of field requirements from student training to today’s advanced scientific use with various options and alternatives available to fit the customer’s budget.

IN OSCILLOSCOPE with : FOUR CHANNELS BUILT- ELECTRONIC SCALE HYBRID | ORIENTATION itachi 505E is a well-designed, hybrid yriented computer; especially, offering acilities by built-in digital logic package and urther hybrid capability presented by ex- yandability of servo-set system. The digital logic package includes Flip-flops, \ND gates with inverters, Decimal counters, ind Hitachi’s unique Ring counter which may | »e programed as a shift register, a program controller, a general purpose decimal counter, and soon. It also terminates mode control of integrators, console mode control of integrators, console mode control inputs and outputs, clock interval timers, A-D trunks, general purpose indicators, and so on. The maximum quantity of servo-set. poten- tiometers when fully expanded is 72 in ad- dition to 36 manual potentiometers. Servo- pot groups located directly behind the patch panel reduce phase error during high-speed repetitive operation. The servo-set control structure is fully prewired to expand the computer to a complete integrated hybrid system. A HYBRID switch on the servo-set control panel may accept control signals for automatic amplifier readout, automatic ad- dressing, and setting of servo-set potentio- meters from the interface. Further, maximum 8ch A-D converters, 8ch D-A converters, 6ch Co signals, 6ch Ci signals, Program inter- rupts, and Mode Control Lines are offered by an extensive hybrid system with a general purpose digital computer. LOGIC CONTROL PANEL, CT-252: Provides state indicating lamps of decimal counters, a ring counter, flip-flops, and igeneral purpose plus control push buttons for the ring counter and the digital logic. The control push buttons of the RC group may SHIFT or STOP or CLEAR the state of the ring counter which is essentially designed to be used as a general-purpose program controller, a shift register, a skip register, and a counter. Other push buttons of the LOGIC group may control the mode of the entire digital logic components ; e.i., RUN or STOP or CLEAR all of counters, flip-flops, and digital clocks TIMER PANEL, TM-251: Mounts individual coarse and fine time period adjustments tor the 3-channel mono- stable timer. It provides 3 independent variable time for 3-mode repetitive operation The adjustable time range is from 1 msec to 10 sec., each with a 4-step multiplier. The panel has control push buttons for RUN, STOP and CLEAR, and has input/output terminations both on the analog and the logic patch panel. The therefore, may be driven by a logical signal or may generate a logical signal When the timer is being cleared, all of the three timers generate a logic ZERO (0 volts). three in- timer, When the timer is in operation, | dividual timers generate a logic ONE (+6V) in turn, The operation centinues until the STOP button is pushed or when the STOP | input is driven from a logic ZERO to a logic ONE In fact, the 3-mode repetitive operation not only merely provides a rapid display of solu- tions, it also aids precise measurement with less components, especially in optimization problems. TIMER PANEL, TM-253, is available as an alternative unit. It controls only COMPUTE time at 2-mode repetitive operation (RESET COMPUTE) The time range is ten steps of 10ms, 20ms, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s. a PES. ese: S SET RRS TC: S Fsastealias eS” CONTROL PANEL, CT-251: Contains a volt meter, self-lighting mod push buttons for RESET, COMPUTE, HOLD POT-SET, ALL-RESET, and REP-OP, self lighting power ON-OFF buttons, meter rang buttons, slave control buttons, a referenc potentiometer with a null button and a re ference voltage interchange switch, a consol: time scale interchange switch, and genera purpose trunk terminations. Circuit principh of the three modes (RESET, COMPUTE, anx HOLD) is based on EMC, but it also control EMC integrators with no wiring modificatior 10 CONVENIENCE IN OPERATION A) OVERLOAD INDICATOR, OL-252: Provides overload indicating lamps of ope- rational amplifiers (numbered 00 to 61), status indicating lamps of comparator amplifiers (numbered 62 to 69), overload indicating lamps of reference voltages (numbered 73 and 74), two. single-pole, double-throw function switches, plus an audio alarm ON- OFF switch. If the audio alarm (designed | to make a mild sound) is not required, the | switch may be turned off. The audio alarm system may also be used for general pur- pose, and an audio alarm input termination is available on the analog patch panel. OUTPUT SELECTOR, SL-252: Provides push buttons for output selections, two double-pole, double-throw function switches, and an output terminal. The panel may select 62 operational amplifiers, 8 com- parators, reference voltages, and another output selector the slaved analog console. Alternative output selector, SL-252S, may ad- ditionally select 36 servo potentiometers. Potentiometer outputs are not selected by this panel because a SET push button dis- tributed to each potentiometer performs output selection. mountable on MANUAL POTENTIO- METER PANELS, PT-251: Each panel, PT-251, contains 18 potentio- meters. Each one third of them (6 pots), terminated to the potentiometer patch unit PT-151.3 out of 18 potentiometers, is the ungrounded type. Each potentiometer is individually provided with a SET push button which is used for output selection. If two or more SET push buttons are simultaneously depressed, the potentiometer with the smaller number has the priority of being selected. A lamp above the potentiometer comes on when the SET push button is operated. The maximum quantity of potentiometers mountable in one analog console is 54. 2) Vrall ih Ar The Hitachi 505, is very carefully designed from the viewpoint of maintenance. Easily observable control circuits and printed boards without removing appropriate panels from the console aid the maintenance staff to adjust the machine fast and easily. In addition, Hitachi provides a complete interchangeability list of semiconduc- tors, and immediate delivery of spare parts on urgent requirement, even down to a single screw. More important, complete documenta- tion is available of which detailed circuit diagrams, for instance, give the maintenance staff point-by-point voltage and waveform information throughout the computer. Hitachi is sincerely proud of. the simplified maintenance procedures for which the Hitachi 505§ is particularly designed 12 DESCRIPTION OF ANALOG COMPONENTS Dual Amplifier OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS Type DA-151A a ~ Y~ — eS Quad Amplifier Type DA-153 L an Featuring all-silicon transistors including a FET chopper results in a minimum temperature coefficient to reduce maintenance and im- prove long-term reliability. Among 100V desk-top analog computers, Hitachi 505E operational amplifiers have exceptionally high-quality static and dynamic performance, including open loop d-c gain ex- ceeding a 6X10" phase shift error less than 0.1 degrees at 1 KHz. 50 KHz bandwidth at full amplitude (200 Vp-p). MTBF exceeding 100,000 hours. Schematic of DA.ISIA One of the special features available only in the Hitachi 505E operational amplifiers is the current balance system that makes it possible to minimize integrator drift down to 10 #V/sec., although the standard specification of integrator drift described in this brochure is 100 #V/sec. maximum, measured at the network of which the amplifier current balance system is not adjusted. (Available only in DA-151A.) The pot-set gain of the amplifier being 100 and the minimum voltage range of meter 100 mV, the amplifier output is observable equivalently over a 1mV F.S. meter range. The output current limit circuit provides complete protection against damage, even though the output is connected to any voltage on the board for many hours. The resistor networks in the amplifier unit, separated from the am- plifier circuits, require only one bottle plug connection since they are used as a summing amplifier, or they may be available for other purposes if they are not being used. These two units are interchangeable with each other. 13 DESCRIPTION OF ANALOG COMPONENTS Dual Integrater Type IN-151 (RMC) Type IN-153 (EMC) INTEGRATOR NETWORKS Both integrator networks of RMC (IN-151) and EMC (IN-153) are available, usually combined with DA-151A for normal operation. The marking of IN-153 (EMC) is identical with that of IN-151 (RMC), although it is not illustrated here. These two types of units are completely interchangeable with each other without console modi- grt wreoratog (“Giles Ge ALAA fication, because console control structure for the mode is previ- 8 ) 0} ously designed based upon EMC. These two types, therefore, may ; coexist on the same patch panel, so that the programer can , economically select and/or combine integrators between two types, depending on solution requirements. Each integrator unit consists of two integrator networks. On the patch panel, it terminates patchable EMC or RMC, IC input, patch- able time scale, console mode outputs, D-A trunks, and other indispensable lines, most of which patchings are achieved by bot- tle plug connections. Simply by changing the bottle plug position, the integrator mode can be directly controlled from the digital logic patch panel without using a voltage level converter or-a buffer amplifier. Other than a patchable time ‘scale, console time scale interchange- ability is also provided; that is, the ability to select two time scales in any combination among Is, 0.1s, 0.01s, and 0.001s The integrator network may be also patched as an electronic switch (if EMC) or a track/store unit. Feedback capacitors wired in the unit may be used as free capacitors if the integrator network is not in use.

Silicon transistors and ultrahigh-speed diodes of which response time is only 4 nsec. are used throughout to minimize drift and to ensure maintenance- free life. Temperature coefficient of the diodes is compensated to obtain stable operational performance. For easy patching, the multiplier can be converted to a divider or vice versa simply by replacing a bottle plug at the terminations indicated, The multiplier, Type EM-153, is designed essentially for high- accuracy operation at low-output noise. Provided with four inputs (4:X, +Y), it does not always require three operational amplifiers, should signals +X or +Y be available elsewhere on the patch panel. Both types employ particular formula to product multiplication. The equation is: 44 _ 1 } =1(1 (yp y—ap—1 (x-y-h+y xy 13 (x+Y¥ 14 (X-Y—1) In fact, the function F(x-1), —1Sxs1 requires less break points to perform operation in similar accurady than does the function, x*, —1Sx3S1. Major specifications for both types are as follows ; Accuracy : +0.1% (+100mV), Typical (EM—151) +0.02% (+50mV), Typical (EM—153) Bandwidth : 80KHz (EM—151), 100KHz (EM—153) at small input. Type EM-151 Type EM-153 (High Accuracy) 16 VARIABLE DIODE FUNCTION GENERATORS VDFG, FG-151 includes Patch Unit, FG-151, Setup Unit, FG-051 A for positive input, and FG-051B for negative input. The FG-151 may be used as two function generators or as one slave function generator by simply inserting or removing a bottle plug at the terminations indicated. Each setup unit consists of ten fixed break points, their maximum slope +5V/V. Four operational amplifiers are combined with the FG-151 for dual-function generation, whereas two operational amplifiers are combined for 20 break points from— 100V to +100V function generation. VDFG, FG-152 includes Patch Unit, FG-151, two Setup Units, FG- 052. The FG-052 contains ten fixed break points and covers the entire input range from —100V to +100V. Maximum slope is also +5V/V, but two FG-052’s cannot be con- nected with each other. Neither type requires reference input voltage at setup procedure, Circuit principle of each setup unit is to duplicate various heights of triangular units to facilitate setting procedure and to minimize setting time. The programer does not have to remember how many points have been set because the unit self-memorizes the fact mechanically. Type FG-151 (Patch Unit) FG-051A (Setup Unit Positive) FG-051B (Setup Unit Negative) FG-152 (Pacth Unit) FG-052 (Setup Unit) 5xe? UA 17 This VDFG consists of Patch Unit, Type FG-157, and Setup Unit, Type FG-057 which contain ten variable break points. Each break point can be assigned anywhere between+100V and —1OOV. One of the exceptionally remarkable features of this VDFG is its capability of having +1000V/V SLOPE generated; i.e. the maximum slope is practically infinite. Because of this, FG-157 requires five operational amplifiers for function generation. Another remarkable characteristic of this VDFG is the fact that X and Y coefficients can be set independently from each other; i.e. the programer can perform entire X setting first, and, then set the entire Y coefficients. In most conventional VDFG’s, there is always some sort of mutual effection between the X and Y coefficient, and the programer experiences difficulties in adjustment. The setting method of FG- 157, however, has eliminated many troublesome setting procedures and provided the programer with the easiest computer operation. Acceptable quantity of the FG-157 is one per each console. yi Wk WL A OOM Type FG-157 (Patch Unit) FG-057 (Setup Unit) : @ ea 2 2 2 2a 2 @ « 18 FIXED DIODE FUNCTION GENERATORS Trigonometric Function Generator, Type FG-153, has a single trigo- nometric function circuit ; the FG-153A has two such circuits, each requiring one operational amplifier for function generation. Input range is selectable between +z and +z/2 by changing the bottle plug connection at the terminations illustrated. An inverted func- tion can be obtained in the same way. Metal-filmed resistors and temperature-compensated diodes are used throughout to obtain reliable, stable operational performance. Square Function Generator, Type FG-154, has two square function generator circuits; the FG-154A has four such circuits, each requir- ing one operational amplifier for function generation. An inverted function can be obtained by changing the bottle plug connection on the patch panel. High-speed diodes having 4nsec response time and metal-filmed resistors are the main factor in obtaining stable, reliable unit performance. Logarithmic Function Generator, Type FG-155, has two logarithmic function generator circuits ; the FG-155A has four such circuits, each requiring one operational amplifier for operation. Half of those circuits are for negative input, the other half are for positive. Inverse function can be performed by changing a bottle plug con- nection on the patch panel. Also high-speed diodes and metal- filmed resistors are used throughout. RELAY COMPARATORS Two different types are available, the major specific difference being 5 msec. at CP-151 and 0.5 msec. at CP-152. Each unit con- sists of four comparator amplifiers and four double-pole, double- throw relays. The comparator amplifiers are separated from relay networks, and the electronic output—capable of directly driving integrators or console modes—is available on the patch panel. Should the relay be driven by the comparator amplifier, a bottle plug connection may be made between the electronic and the coil input of the relay. Hysteresis characteristics are applied to the amplifier circuit to reject input noises; therefore, sensitivity is kept rather low. Silicon transistors are used throughout. Output voltage level of the amplifier is identical with that of the logic patch board. Response time of the electronic output is 10 zs.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPUTING COMPONENTS ELECTRONIC SWITCH The unit consists of four comparator amplifi- The com- parator amplifiers in this unit are practically identical with those of CP-151 and CP-152. Response time of the electronic switch is less than 14s. Total resistance accuracy of the switch is 100 K +0.2% including FET internal inpedance. The equivalent open resistance ‘is approximately 10'°Q. TIME DELAY UNIT The electronic transfer delay component is based upon Pade second order approximated equation. The TD-151 requires two opera- | tional amplifiers for operation. Two TD-151’s can be slaved to construct a fourth order transfer delay. The unit is accepted to the position where integrators are mounted, and the time scale is interchangeable or patch- able in the same manner as integrators. Delay time range is from 0.0001 sec. to 10 sec. Type CP-153 AUTOMATIC OPERATOR UNIT The AO-151 essentially contains one mul- tiplier and one integrator (except an opera- tional amplifier), plus necessary wiring to solve boundary problems or other iterative techniques. The parts mentioned are combined into prewired blocks so that panel wiring may be reduced ; consequently, pro- gramming for iterative computation is simplified by using this unit. TRUNK UNIT This unit is used to transfer various signals to and from external equipment and/or a slaved console, 40 general-purpose trunk lines are available, terminated to the con- nector located on the rear side of the console. Type AO-151 ( Type TR-151 ) DISPLAY DEVICE OSCILLOSCOPE Type OS-252 For convenience in observing solutions in high-speed repetitive operation, a special purpose built-in oscilloscope is available. Provided with one horizontal input and four vertical inputs, four waveforms can be simultaneously displayed. The cathode ray tube in this oscilloscope has a rectangular 230-mm. (9-inch) scope face which permits easy observation. In addition, an electronic scale (11 linesx11 lines) is displayed to enable accurate measure- ment of the problem solution due to parallax and scope distortion (usually an unavoidable problem on an oscilloscope with a fixed scale) being completely compensated. The time axis generator in the oscilloscope can be used as a timer which controls the interval of repetitive operation when the REP- OP button on the control panel (CT-251) is pushed. The time base is discretely changed. Excluding the cathode ray tube and the rectifier, the circuit is composed entirely of semiconductors with printed wiring. Brief Specifications: Range Vertical 200V, 100V, 50V, 20V F.S. Range Horizontal Time base 2s, 1s, 500ms, 200ms, 100ms, 50ms, 20ms and 10ms. Voltage base 200V, 100V, 50V, 20V, F.S. Bandwidth 10 KHz } Brightness Modulation Yes. 21 DIGITAL LOGIC PACKAGE Mode Matrix MM-151 Counter Unit CU-151A The digital logic package (CL-252) is installed in the control console (CS-505B) with the removable logic problem board (PP-505D), the logic power supply (PS-053), the logic control panel (CT-252), and the unit mount (UM-252). The various types of digital logic components installed in this package are so designed to provide wide-range logic control capability for analog program networks with minimum programing time and with minimum programing | preconsideration. For instance, voltage level converters which are supposed to be installed somewhere between the analog and the logic patch panel are omitted since each logic component is pro- vided with large-output current capability. All digital logic outputs are identical with outputs of the timer, the comparator, and the console mode. A logic ONE is +6V or greater and a logic ZERO is approximately zero volts, with which the integrator mode is also controlled. The Flip-Flop Unit, FF-151A, contains 5 RST flip-flops with a state indicating lamp individually provided. All flip-flops may be simul- taneously reset by one signal or by a push button. The Logic Gate Unit, LG-151A, contains four 2 input AND gates and four 3 input AND gates with an inverter individually provided. Any logic gate may be formed by combining these AND gates. The Counter Unit, CU-151A, contains two decimal counters with ten indicating lamps each. Each counter is provided with RUN, 22 Ras Logic Gate Unit LG-151A Flip-Flop Unit FF-151A CLR (Clear) inputs, and CR (Carry up) output. Only one output out of ten is a logic ONE, the other nine outputs logic ZERO, the lamp group so indicating. Driving the RUN terminal from a logic ZERO TO ONE shifts the counter by one step. If a logic ONE is supplied to the CLR terminal, the counter will be cleared and a logic ONE appears at the O output, leaving the remaining nine outputs as a logic ZERO. The CR output provides a logic ONE impulse as soon as the counter is shifted from the 9 output to the 0, output: This impulse may be used for driving another decimal counter to make a multidigit decimal figure. The Mode Matrix. MM-151A, contains 18ch integrator mode driv- ing inputs. Driving the RS terminal numbered O from a logic ZERO to ONE causes the integrator 0 to be RESET, if the control input terminations are connected to the MM outputs (See Page 14). Driving the CP terminal will cause the integrator to COMPUTE. If both terminals are fed with a logic ZERO or are open, the in- tegrator will become HOLD. The MM-151A may be used as a general purpose trunk. The Ring Counter Unit, RC-151 is double paneled, and includes one ring counter, timer input and output terminations, logic mode input and output terminations, analog console mode input ter- mintions, and ten general-purpose indicating lamp terminations. Ring Counter Unit RC-151A The operating principle of the ring counter is identical with that of the CU-151A, except that the ring counter is provided with an individual SHIFT input and an inverter at each position. The ring counter may also be controlled by the push-button group located on the logic control panel (CT-252). (See Page 10) The counter group, including the CU-151A, may be used as a shift resistor or as a timer with 0.1 msec. resolution. The Trunk Unit, TR-153A, contains 8ch A-D trunks and one digital Trunk Unit TR-153A clock set. comparator output sufficiently to drive the comparator sufficient! to drive the logic components. The digitaly clock clock contains a 100 KHz pulse oscillator divided down to 0.1Hz and providing 10KHz, 100Hz, and 10 Hz outputs. The clock may be fed to the counter group to form a multidigit precision timer (5 digits maximum). A-D tunks include a wave form converter to sharpen the output 23 ACCESSORIES 24 To facilitate operation of the Hitachi 505 analog computer system, the following accessories are provided: a) Patching Kit, PK-505 One patching kit set, PK-505, containing the following various-sized shielded patch cords and bottle plugs.
