The [[ARP 2600]]'s Ring Modulator was actually a moderate-accuracy analog multiplier. The Simulation Council (or Simulations Council) was an association of analog computer users in US. It is now known as The Society for Modeling and Simulation International. The Simulation Council newsletters from 1952 to 1963 are available online and show the concerns and technologies at the time, and the common use of analog computers for missilry.<ref name="J4K6F">{{cite web|url=http://scs.org/history/SimCouncilNewsletters/Default.htm|title=Simulation Council newsletter|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528123159/http://www.scs.org/history/SimCouncilNewsletters/Default.htm|archive-date=2013-05-28}}</ref>
