content: The New Jersey firm of Electronic Associates Incorporated, founded in 1945, began making analog computers in 1952. Its products were designed to assist in aircraft design and missile guidance. This form of the EAI PACE (Precision Analog Computing Equipment) computer, a transistorized Model TR-10-3, was introduced in 1959. In it, as in other analog computers of the day, numbers were represented continuous variations in voltage (rather than the disccrete units of digital devices). In addition to performing basic arithmetic, the PACE solved problems in integration and differential equations.
