Aside from the Comptometer, a nice hand cranked model L Monroe machine is the one adding machine that really tempts me. I've been on the lookout for the right one for a little while now. There's just something about them: how they took the idea of the already wonderful pinwheel machines and functionally improved on them in every way.

Such an awesome video that showcases the inner mechanisms of one of our older calculators! Awesome to see that it is in such great shape! Keep up the great content!😎😎

@@jaapsch2 That is fantastic, we will certainly be checking out all of those videos!

Another very artistic video Jaap - I love the new style. Interesting to see that the stepped drums on the model K use a different manufacturing technique compared to the LN160X - the model K having steel teeth, rivetted together to form the drum whereas the LN160X had die cast drums.

Great video.

Biquinary stepped drums! I didn't know that.

Love your machines! Got a jammed Sweda cash register with a frightening amiunt of bits inside... one fir the winter evenings

I just checked out your video of it. Oof, 40kg is a lot of machine.

Thanks!

Do you have an electric 60s model?

It a shame the tens carry mechanism is in the body not the carriage

Mine works perfectly but isn’t that clean.

Most are familiar with the 19th century Carrington event (a major solar storm which set telegraph lines on fire and worldwide aurora). Now there’s evidence of a far worse event that happened in the 8th century AD, not solar in origin, possibly radiation from a super nova, evidence of it in tree rings. I’m ready, got my machines and several books of mathematical tables.
