Messrs. Scheutz's New Calculating Machine

Messrs. Pehr (Per) Georg Scheutz (1785-1873) and Edvard Scheutz's (of Stockholm, Sweden) New Calculating (Tabulating) Machine. The first Scheutzian calculation engine, invented in 1837 and finalized in 1843. This machine, which he constructed with his son Edvard Scheutz, was based on Charles Babbage's difference engine. An improved model, roughly the size of a piano (pictured here), was created in 1853 and subsequently demonstrated at the World's Fair in Paris, 1855
