Automatic Analog Computer Control by Means of Punched Cards — "CRESSIDA I"

NASA Technical Translation TT F-8843 of EURATOM CETIS Report No. 46 (April 1962), authored by Armand Van Wauve at the Ispra Scientific Information Data Processing Center. Describes the CRESSIDA I project, which automates static digital-analog coupling for EAI PACE 231R analog computers by linking the ADIOS console to a modified IBM 026 card punch, enabling punched-card input/output of analog quantities and automatic coefficient setting via the APACHE II language processed on an IBM 7090. The 28-page report covers system architecture, relay-based control circuits, instructions for IBM 026 operation as an ADIOS I/O unit, and future plans including CRESSIDA II.
