That's fantastic.

I'm blown away by people who can design such things.

Analogue addition, multiplication and subtraction I can see but analogue division....WOW. Even binary division is a good trick.

I loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Still....you can do all that on an abacus (granted, a very long one). :D

PS. also loved the presenter LOL

Always love complex mechanical items. Hence cars, locks, and this thing!
