The machines from back in the day were extremely complicated and required great work, I admire that on old things. Such as warships which took years just to build, like a castle on the sea. And these machines were so complicated inside it barely made any sense, and now things were reduced in size to down to a fingertip. I personally still like seeing how things worked back then

I think it's unfathomable how in 100 years we went from large, slow mechanical devices that could only add, to devices that can do billions of operations per second and not break a sweat. The digital age has led to a quality of life never seen before in human history.

The shifting mechanical display on the MC4M is really impressive. I wonder if this could have been generalized to an electromechanical word processor with larger character wheels. It probably would've been enormous and very heavy, though.

@10:10 I have the same model (3D11). When i did buy it from ebay, some number wheels were stuck, some did not go higher than a certain number, one did turn back when released the number and zero suppression didn't work. Only 5 columns did work fine (2 in the centre and the last 3). After partial disassemble and a lot of cleaning and loosing parts, it works fine, including zero suppression.
