1. Apparatus for evaluating construction of machines, particularly agricultural machines, by calculation of a set of output parameters identifying characteristics of machinery useful in judging the utility of the machinery wherein each of the output parameters is associated with a specific one of the characteristics, there being input parameters and input data which quantifies the input parameters with specific values, there being intermediary parameters for which data is not available, the input parameters and the intermediary parameters being used in the calculation of the output parameters, the apparatus comprising:

  • a keyboard for entry of the input data of the input parameters;

    a parameter base module having a parameter memory for storage of a set of the input parameters and the intermediary parameters, and a set of the output parameters for characterization of a machine to be constructed;

    a numerical board coupled to said base module and employing electric signals for displaying individual parameters of the set of input and intermediary parameters;

    an analyzer module connecting with said base module for selecting specific ones of the input and the intermediary parameters to be used in producing mathematical correlations among the input and the intermediary parameters;

    processing means including a microprocessor connecting with said keyboard and said base module and said analyzer module, said processing means interpolating said input data of said keyboard and calculating said intermediary parameters by the aid of predetermined patterns of such data, said processing means further including a data memory for storing information describing the predetermined patterns of data;

    synthesizer means connecting with said data memory, said parameter memory, and said analyzer module for developing mathematically, by a sequence of mathematical steps, correlations among the input and the intermediary parameters selected by the analyzer module, the correlations providing values for the output parameters in the characterization of a machine to be constructed and being stored in said parameter memory; and

    an object module connecting with said analyzer module and being responsive to said microprocessor for displaying the numerical values of the output parameters provided by said base module for a machine to be constructed.
