One of the Great Analog Computers: the REAC

JF Ptak Science Books
 
REAC927 This is the bible of the Reeves Instrument Company's great REAC--the Reeves Electronic Analog Computer.  It is a handbook of maintenance instructions and operations, published in 1951, and is chock-a-block with what seems to be any techspecs and data that you'd need to operate the machine.  It is two inches thick and has multiple fold-out schematics.

The following appeared in The American Mathematical Monthly, vol 60, #4, "The NOTS REAC", pp 237-243.

Rare.  Not foulnd in WorldCat/OCLC.  $500
