I put a little bit more about the "video games" at the bottom of
http://aafradio.org/docs/ , Hue. I scanned part of the 1946 NDRC book
on Guided Missile development before donating it to the NASM archives
last year. I did not post more than the first four pages on the Azon
and Razon because it quickly gets into the mathematical basis for the
design and can make your mind go numb. I can send those pages to anyone
interested.
