This equipment, built in 1964, still exists! It’s a designated [National Registered Cultural Heritage](https://english.khs.go.kr/chaen/search/selectGeneralSearchDetail.do?mn=EN_02_02&sCcebKdcd=79&ccebAsno=0005580000000&sCcebCtcd=11) and is currently preserved at Hanyang University Museum.
Contrary to the title’s claim, it’s not Korea’s first home-grown analogue computer, of course – the professor already made two predecessors before (hence this one being #3). And even those two are preceded by [Yonsei 101 Analogue Computer](https://english.khs.go.kr/chaen/search/selectGeneralSearchDetail.do?mn=EN_02_02&sCcebKdcd=79&ccebAsno=0005570000000&sCcebCtcd=11) built in 1961 and currently preserved at – you guess it – Yonsei University.
Oh wow this is beautiful in many different ways.
I’d love to see some documentaries on beginning of computing in S. Korea (not just personal computing with the IBM clones). Anyone have any recommendations?
