MACHINES FOR SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
Another branch of the analogue calculating machine is a type of machine
that will solve various kinds of algebraic equations (see Supplement
2). A list of some articles follows. The article by Mallock describes
a machine for solving up to 10 linear simultaneous equations in 10
unknowns, and the article by Wilbur, a machine for solving up to 9.
