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.
