Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the fascinating story of the development of the calculating machine, tracing its evolution from ancient abacus-like devices to the key-driven calculators that were revolutionizing the world of business in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author takes us on a journey through the history of calculating machines, exploring the challenges faced by inventors as they sought to create a machine that could rival the speed and accuracy of human calculation. We learn about the pioneers who laid the groundwork for these machines, such as Blaise Pascal, who developed a mechanical calculator in the 17th century. The book goes on to examine the work of later inventors who developed key-driven machines, but who struggled to overcome the limitations of their designs. The author then delves into the specific design features of several early calculating machines, highlighting both their strengths and weaknesses. He sheds light on the inherent difficulties that inventors faced in developing a key-driven machine that could handle complex calculations without errors. This exploration reveals a captivating struggle between theoretical concepts and the practical realities of manufacturing, highlighting the critical role of innovation and perseverance in the development of technology. Through a detailed examination of the invention of the key-driven calculator, the author unveils a crucial moment in the history of technology, revealing how the evolution of this seemingly simple device ultimately led to the development of the modern accounting machine, forever changing the way businesses operate.
