This is a project that researches the history of the electrical analyzer in order to understand the articulation of ideological, political, and economic forces behind the social production and use of the electronic computer. The project groups electrical analyzers into three categories: artificial electric lines, short-circuit calculating tables, and alternating current network analyzers. They are all referred to as electric analyzers in order to emphasize the continuity between three couples of hegemonic as well as dialectically opposing social tendencies: mechanizing and calculating which brought about the mechanical calculator, electrifying and analyzing which brought about the electrical analyzer, and electronifying and computing which brought about the electric computer.

这是一个研究电气分析仪的历史，以了解电子计算机的社会生产和使用背后的意识形态，政治和经济力量的衔接的项目。 该项目将电气分析仪分为三类：人工电线、短路计算表和交流网络分析仪。 它们都被称为电分析器，以强调三对霸权的、辩证地对立的社会趋势之间的连续性：机械化和计算导致了机械计算器，简化和分析导致了电分析器，电子化和计算导致了电子计算机。
