The last item is an adding machine which can perform complicated calculations. It was used by engineering/surveying firms that I worked with back in the sixties to early seventies. They disappeared rather quickly after the invention of the electronic calculator.
I’m feeling old as I do remember these. I remember seeing them somewhere, just not sure where!
They were fun to watch when you tried to divide by zero.
Agreed. I have one made by Monroe that was used in an office during the 50's and 60's. Unlike many mechanical adding machines that could only add or subtract and perform limited multiplication this machine could divide and multiply. They are a treat to watch, that head bobs up and down and if I remember correctly moves from one side to another as it performs the calculation. They were also a pain to keep functioning they'd get out of adjustment pretty easily.
Last item: a Friden calculator. You would input one number into the large keyboard, then enter another with the 10 key keyboard in left lower corner. It could multiply, divide or add and subtract. I used one in the early 1960’s.
I'll bet those pipes in the cabinet are actually meershaum, not ivory...it looks a lot like ivory, but is a clay-like material. Makes for excellent tobacco pipes, and picks up a beautiful coloring after having been smoked for awhile...but I quit smoking, so mine will never get the full coloring.
The last item is a Friden mechanical calculator. The electronic computer word length of 36-bits was chosen, in part, to match its precision.
3:50 One can get an idea where the phrase ‘tit in the wringer’ originated! Especially the later powered ones.
Been there seen that.
Last item: An accounting machine.
4:55. A horse drawn sickle bar, used to cut hay. The cutter bar is driven by knobby steel wheels. Used one fifty years ago, biput only worked in sparse grass hay, not alfalfa or modern dense hay.
The last item is a comptometer. Maybe from Burrows of IBM
The last item is a mechanical adding machine that can also multiply and divide. Called a calculator. When I was in high school it was the only math help we had (besides the slide rule).
I have a side bar mower at my house. Made by Massey Harris around the 20's
This is likely a Frieden calculator from the 50's & 60s. It was the too of the line business calculator until electronic ones came available
The last item is a mechanical calculator, and the zeros are the blank keys at the bottom. Sadly, I don't know how to use one, as we didn't have one working where I worked.
Had several of these in high school. Circa 1960-1970.
the last item is a rotary calculator of the 1950's to 1960's they were great at multiplication and division I have used one before. Division was the hardest calculation on a mechanical calculator.
It looks like an old adding machine from a bank or business. like an accountants adding machine.
👁👁 Happy to drop by 7:35
My used one bookkeeping
I've seen items similar to the 'kabinettschrank' on 'Antiques Roadshow', but couldn't think of the name.
Breton = BREH - t''n
Glendelough = GLEHN - duh - loch
Original calculator used at NASA
Love these videos !
A comtometer?
comptometer, I believe
Simple question - while I really enjoy all these interesting objects, I get a little tired of duplicates showing up! How hard is it to make sure the person who makes these videos don’t do duplicates? Just curious!!!
The last item of the last video is always the first item on the new video, so that we may all know what the item is.
Speed it up!
