My new computer
My boss said that I was to supposed to familiarise myself with this new calculating machine to boost my flagging work efficiency. It certainly looks as if the new machine were capable of handling some quite large numbers.
Seriously now: This is a calculating machine that was built by the Darmstadt civil engineer Johann Helfrich von Müller from 1782-1784. It could perform the four basic arithmetic operations on numbers of up to 14 digits. Although the prototype worked, Müller could not raise the money to start the production run, but grand duke Ludwig I of Hesse-Darmstadt purchased the prototype for the sum of 4000 guilders.
