1950s Bendix Central Air Data Computer used in fighter planes (oldbytes.space)

Fighter planes in the 1950s used the Bendix Central Air Data Computer to determine air speed, mach number, altitude and so forth from pressure. It is electromechanical, using gears and synchros for its computations. Amazingly, it is modular and can be easily disassembled....

The CADC is a cylindrical unit full of tiny gears, synchro motors, and electronics.
