history of Pascal's pascaline Calculator

Pascal's pascaline Calculator
Pascal invented a meachine that had a system of gears. A  one-tooth gear engages its single tooth with a ten-tooth gear once every time it revolves. It must make ten revolutions to rotate the ten-tooth gears one. Numbers could be entered and cumulativesums obtained by cranking handle. Pascal's calculator was not a commercial success because these devices could not be built with sufficient percision for pratical use.
the German mathematician, von Leibniz, produced a machine that was similar to pascal's but more reliable and accurate. Other mechanical calculater that were refinements on the designs of pascal and Leibniz
