| Austria Calculator - 1906 |
 |
| "The Austria was
manufactured by Herzstark & Co. circa 1906. This stepped drum
machine (serial number 1837) has 18 places in the result mechanism, 9
places in the setting mechanism, and 9 places in the revolution
counter. When the crank is turned, the result register is locked down,
as is the slide lever that switches the machine between addition and
subtraction. When depressed, the large lever on the left lifts the result register. Once lifted, the register is automatically pulled one digit to the left or right by a spring-loaded pulley at the rear of the machine." Jay M. Goldman. http://www.jmgoldman.com |
