The " Frontlash " name was a play on words, originally used in this context by President Lyndon B . Johnson in 1964 ( it had previously been used in analogue computer construction and similar ).

In a typical World War II British ship the fire control system connected the individual gun turrets to the director tower ( where the sighting instruments were ) and the analogue computer in the heart of the ship.

In 1944 Bell Labs started delivery of an anti-aircraft predictor fire-control system based around an analogue computer ( supplanting the previous electro-mechanical Kerrison Predictor ) just in time for use in this campaign.
35.
After World War II predictors changed from being electro-mechanical analogue computers to digital computers, but by this time heavy anti-aircraft guns had been replaced by missiles, but electronics enabled smaller guns to adopt fully automated laying.

To provide for the determination of time from the observed moons'positions, a Jovilabe was offered & mdash; this was an analogue computer that calculated time from the positions and that got its name from its similarities to an astrolabe.

On Lord Kelvin's advice, Thomson's integrating machine was later incorporated into a fire-control system for naval gunnery being developed by Arthur Pollen, resulting in an electrically driven, mechanical analogue computer, which was completed by about 1912.
38.
Klemperer was engaged in the development of airships or zeppelins, both in Germany and the US, high altitude ballons, specialized optics, a high-speed wide-angle cine-camera, analogue computers, equipment for data processing and flight simulators.

During and after World War II, the EMI Laboratories in Hayes, Hillingdon developed radar equipment ( including the receiver section of the British Army's GL-II anti-aircraft fire-control radar ), microwave devices such as the guided missiles employing analogue computers.
40.
It initially started in the production of analogue computers to control flight simulators, then moved to produce minicomputers ( " R range " ), departmental Unix Servers and microcomputers ( " teleputers " ), specialising in data capture, enterprise accounting for local government and videotex systems.
