content: These eighteen potentiometers are eighteen separate metal boxes, open at the top. Numerous knobs and switches on the front of each box are labeled. The boxes have holes in them on both sides and the back. The back of each box has six outlets and adhesive labels. Inside are many glass tubes and wires. The potentiometers hang from the underside of integrators- one is (or at least was) in that position as an example of how they all were placed. Other marks include: General Electric Differential Analyzer Amplifier ; Photo Tube Potentiometer ; Anti-Hunt ; Amplitude ; Bias ; and Sensitivity.
