SPEED 1.3
- What it runs on
- IBM-compatible PCs with Windows 3.1 or above. This version will run on PCs with a 16 or 256 colour graphics display (it is generally possible to set others to one of these values from the Control Panel).
- What it does
- Speed simulates the dynamical motion of an "ideal" bell and clapper in real time. The user supplies dynamical parameters; the bell rings down from whatever starting position is specified. An ideal bell is wholly frictionless and the clapper collision is wholly inelastic. The program will indicate a multiple blow if this should happen, and assesses the force of the blow. A moving icon indicates the situation of bell and clapper in real time (occasional hesitations may intrude on slower PCs), provided that your PC has an arithmetic coprocessor.
