Abstract :
Feedback control design is passing into a third stage of development as the systems become more complicated, less subject to linear treatment, and more susceptible to noise problems. This article is a review of analogue computers which are useful in studying involved linear systems and those which do not lend themselves to direct mathematical analyses.
