Golf Game Computing System (US Patent 3,598,976)
US Patent 3,598,976, patented August 10, 1971, describing an analog computer-based golf game simulation system invented by Jack A. Russell and Bradford J. Baldwin. The system uses sensors to detect the trajectory of an actually-struck golf ball and feeds the measurements into an analog computing circuit that calculates and displays where the ball would land on a real golf course. The patent includes 17 sheets of detailed circuit schematics and system diagrams covering the sensor array, analog computing elements, and display apparatus.
