    Post COLD WAR WEAPONS - CALCULATOR/COMPUTERS

    These computers are very interesting And I have started yet another collection
    It started with an ROC Post! Then US Civil Defense! And now Cold War computers!
    Here's a taster:



    UKWMO Air Burst Effects Computer No.1 Bigger in size than normal ones found in ROC posts and NATO issue.



    Chemical Weapons/Toxic Vapour Effects Computer - NATO issue.



    Early 1960's Radiation Dosage Calculator. (How to glow in the dark)



    Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer This was issued with a book "The Effects of Nuclear Weapons! printed in 1957 by US Atomic Energy Commission. The flip side of this is in blue for bursts at sea!



    UKWMO Nuclear Weapon Effects Computer No.1 dates from around 1960's like the one above its bigger than normal!



    US Army Commanders Weapons Effects Estimator. You can just imagine a Commander using this to stop the Soviet Army after they crossed into the West! "Lets drop a 10 kiloton Nuke on them here"


    Flip side: I love the Mushroom cloud! The gay colours almost give it a Disney fun look!!! Playing with Nukes



    Soviet Forces version of the Nuclear Weapon Effects Computer dates from around 1970's This is an excellent piece of kit, well made out of thick solid plastic unlike the others! 10 out of 10 for survivability



    Flip side: Yet another nice mushroom cloud is included

    Thanks for looking!

    Nice collection. Amazing at the stuff produced to "automate" burst calculations
