Mechanical ComputingBob Roswell brought along the kinds of toys that mold future computer geeks. Things that demonstrate binary logic, and the fundamentals of computing were on display to be played with. The little tiny punch card toy looks like alot of fun…“I will bring a selection of devices that add, subtract, multiply, and divide using gears, motors, sliders, and fluid components. If I can make progress on it, I may bring a pneumatic word processor! It works like a player piano, but the “piano roll” controls a typewriter. The exhibit includes Digicomp computers (Dr. Nim, Think-a-Dot, Digicomp I, DigiComp II, and some replicas) along with other training computers.” -- source link
