Dear all,
those of you who joined the last year’s ConTeXt meeting might remember the talk about the development of mechanical calculators… Last night I encountered a very illustrative film on YouTube showing in detail the functioning of the Arithometer.
Enjoy!

Calculating Machines, Innovation, and Thinking about Thinking from
