MessageAs somebody who graduated engineering school with a slide rule, and then converted to mechanical calculators, I'm still fascinated by mechanical calculators. What makes them extremely desirable is the fact that today they are totally useless. After all, things that are strictly useful can be boring!

MessageGreat site! But what I am really looking for is an introduction to the Mayan "NEPOHUALTZITZIN". Has anyone informations about this pre-Colombian abacus?

MessageWhatcha!

As an Underwood employee in Birmingham England I used to repair and service these machines in the 1960's.

On the whole the machines were reliable, and the most common problem was the very fine spring loaded number printing system.

They were taken over by Olivetti in the late 60's

MessageVery entertaining videos. I learned to use the abacus when I was little but gave that up when I got older. Now that I have a two year old, I'm thinking of introducing the abacus to him in a couple of years. Hopefully this website will still be here and I can show him the videos!

MessageHello your site is great. I just picked up a Monroe Calculating Machine Company Model K and I was wondering if any one knew where I could find a manual and how much it worth. Thanks great site!!

Messagethis is really entertaining . I hope you can add more videos about how to use an abacus for various other advanced operations like , multiplications , division, finding square root. or may be you can give a video showing how you use the different abacus you have shown using diagrams.

MessageI have one of these Tasco pocket Arithmometers and, thanks to your web site, I can now see how it operates. I was going to throw it out, but it I guess I will keep it and play around with it.
