Abstract
The time of arrival of a constant speed moving object at a given location is calculated from data representing the time of arrival of the object at two preceeding locations and the relative physical distances between the three locations. An up-down counter counts up at a fixed frequency f.sub.1 during the time interval of the object's transversal of the distance between the first two locations and counts down at a pre-selected frequency f.sub.2 thereafter. The preselected frequency f.sub.2 is a function of the distances between locations and the fixed frequency f.sub.1. When the counter counts down to zero it produces an output pulse that occurs at the time the object reaches the given location. Operation of the time delay computer is independent of object speed.
