Today marks the 75th anniversary of the transistor—a basic building block of modern electronics, and one of the key inventions of the 20th century. Take a closer look at this tiny semiconducting marvel + its predecessor, the vacuum tube, in Open Circuits: https://t.co/ie5zJKXMbb
The Bendix Central Air Digital Computer (CADC) was introduced in 1955. It was a critical component of fighter planes, using tiny gears to compute parameters such as airspeed and altitude. It contained 46 synchros, 511 gears, 820 ball bearings, and a total of 2,781 major parts. 🧵
The Bendix Central Air Data Computer (CADC) was introduced in 1955. This complex mechanical analog computer uses tiny gears, cams, and differentials to determine airspeed, altitude, etc for fighter planes. I hooked a synchro up to the CADC and got some output from it. 🧵
