Excellent YouTube Video - How the Curta Works

[Les Bell]

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!

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

So who's going to have it reverse engineered, and a working replica 3D-printed by the end of the day?

Nice video, thank you for sharing.

The video makes me want to own such a masterpiece.

This makes me want to make such a device.

...and if you haven't seen Rick Furr's professionally-printed Curta poster here, you owe it to yourself to take a look. It is amazing.
