Saturn Analog Computer. Electronic engineer testing a new transistorized computer just completed at English Electric, Kidsgrove Works in Staffordshire, UK, 1960. Developed from the miniaturization experience gained building the "Mars" prototype a year earlier and integrating many of its more successful parts. Used for developing missile guidance systems and radar equipment, it was a type of computer that used the continuous variation aspect of electrical quantities (analog signals) to model the problem being solved. In contrast, digital computers represent varying quantities symbolically and by discrete values of both time and amplitude.
