Abstract: Electronic computing machinery which removes the labour of ray tracing offers a new approach to lens design in general. This paper describes methods which have been adopted successfully for tracing paraxial, meridional and skew rays with great rapidity. Formulae are described which have been employed to obtain a detailed account of the aberrations of a lens system from defined initial data in a few minutes.
