Abstract:

The development of AIDE, and electronic calculating device that computes and displays cloudheight information for use by airfield weather observers, is described. Included is an explanation of the requirement for an electronic integrating device for cloud heights, a discussion of the general system design, and details of the design of each component unit. Also presented and discussed are logical equations used in the AIDE design, verifications of the Arithmetic Unit operation, and results of an evaluation testing program. Author
