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!

Willli

indeed, i suppose you're now reading "Reckoning with Matter
Calculating Machines, Innovation, and Thinking about Thinking from
