I am really impressed by this jaw-dropping ingenuity. It really is a fascinating hand-held mechanical device. I still can’t understand fully how it functions even if it is explained at the end of the clip. Its one of the most amazing things I have ever seen and yes, it is more amazing than a digital calculator, atleast to me. VIDEO->
WOW, great thing… where to get this ?
i wanna have one … im impressed !
Whoa, other people have these? I have my Grandfather’s Curta. I hadn’t ever seen another one until now, although to be honest I wasn’t looking too hard. Apparently they were all the rage with the engineers back in the day before computers were invented. Not gonna lie, it’s definitely one of my prized possessions as well!!
well you are one luck guy to have that Curta!
do you know what is its value now?
do they sell on ebay?
There are half a dozen on ebay, they seem to range from 400 US to 1000
That was the longest time I’ve ever seen anyone multiply 485 by 98.
*UndeadCaeser* It depends; how often do you see people multiply 485 by 98?? Or at least those exact numbers 😛
If you run into one of these somewhere keep it. They are worth a fortune.
