| Leonardo da Vinci's Design |

| 'It all started 2 years ago in June 1994 on
a trip to Boston. While visiting the "Boston
Computer Museum", I bought a booklet named "The
History of Computing" by Marguerite Zientara. On
page 3 I saw an unusual picture of a calculator titled
"Leonardo da Vinci's Calculator". I started
asking around about this calculator, but the more I
asked, the less I knew, as it is not mentioned in any
other book. The calculator became a quest of mine for the
last 2 years. It took dozens of emails, faxes, telephone
calls and snail mail to gather the information comprising
the story of this unusual replica.' Erez Kaplan. |
