Fluid logic devices: a review

Background study of work connected with this report entailed the collection of a large number of specialised and general technical publications concerning the techniques and applications of fluid computing. General conclusions from these investigations are that, in Russia and America, this science is very advanced and considered to be of great significance, especially where pure fluid logic devices are concerned. The purpose of this survey is to enable the reader to assess the quality and magnitude of work done by other academic institutions, and also to show with what importance this science is viewed elsewhere. It must be realized, however, that general description and discussion of available bibliography is the only assessment possible, as work of a military nature has not been released.
