andym Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 You can see the RN version of this ("Box Ten") on HMS Belfast, or the somewhat simpler torpedo computer on HMS Alliance. Amazing pieces of machinery which Charles Babbage would have had no trouble in recognising! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
