Excellent YouTube Video - How the Curta Works - Les Bell - 09-22-2014 03:33 AM

I just stumbled across this (via AdaFruit Industries on Google+) and enjoyed it so much I'm compelled to share it. I'm pretty sure the people here will enjoy it, too.

Thanks, Les, I do. Though it's "Not remotely HP Calculators" IMHO.
