Curta Calculator Video
Hi all,
Had heard of these, but never actually seen one... as a matter, the video is also a first for me. I'm sure some here have experience with them. Looks like they were a fascinating piece of engineering! http://www.numberphile.com/videos/curta_calculator.html Erik |

Looks like they were a fascinating piece of engineering! I picked one up on eBay a while back. They're hard to get now for a decent price, but I got lucky. A truly amazing little piece of technology, but actually a little clumsy to use. I have a type II that I use now and then just to remember how. They are a complex machine inside. I found mine with the instruction book, import stamps and receipt in a box of auction stuff. They are clumsy to use but when you consider what the alternatives were at the time they were a big step up. -- Steve W. |
