I suspect this is an ANALOG computer. (I should know this but I don't). What that boils down to is banks of OP amps that are connected via patch bays to do calculations.

A DIGITAL computer could also be fabricated with tubes. All you need is two triodes to make a flip-flop which is a i bit binary storage device. Now just make another 1000 or so of these 12AX7 flip-flops and you might be able to mimike a $4 Wall Mart calculator.
