    Pascal ' S Calculator: Machine To The Public in 1645

    Uploaded by

    Frank Jomari Murillo
    Blaise Pascal invented the first mechanical calculator in 1642 to help with his father's tax work. He created 50 prototypes before unveiling his Pascaline in 1645, which could add and subtract directly and multiply and divide through repetition. Pascal was granted an exclusive royal patent for his calculator and built around 20 more machines over the next decade, with 9 surviving to today in museums. His innovation of a "carry mechanism" allowed independent operation of each digit during calculations.

    PASCAL’S CALCULATOR

    B laise Pascal along with Wilhelm Schickard was


    one two inventors of the mechanical
    calculator in the early 17th century. Pascal
    designed the machine in 1642. He was spurred to it when participating in the
    burden of arithmetical labor involved in his father’s official work as
    supervisor of taxes at Rouen. First called the Arithmetic Machine, Pascals
    Calculator and later Pascaline, his invention was primarily intended as an
    adding machine which could add and subtract two numbers directly, but its
    description could, with a bit of a stretch, be extended to a “mechanical
    calculator, in that at least in principle if was possible, admittedly rather
    laboriously, to multiply and divide by repition.”

    pasca
    l went through 50 prototypes
    before presenting his first
    machine to the public in 1645,
    he dedicated it to pierre
    seguier, the chancellor of
    france at the time, he built
    around twenty more machines
    during the next decade, often
    improving on his original
    design, nine machines have
    survived the centuries, most
    of them being on display in
    european museums. in 1649 a
    royal privileged, signed by
    louise xiv of france, gave him
    the exclusivity of the design
    and manufacturing of
    calculating machines in
    france.

    PASCAL OF THE STATE OF THE OTHERS ALLOWING FOR

    DESIGNED THE FIRST MECHANICAL CALCULATOR TO MULTIPLE CARRIES TO RAPIDLY CASCADE FORM

    STILL SURVIVE FROM THE 17TH CENTURY. HIS ONE DIGIT TO ANOTHER REGARDLESS OF THE

    DEVICE WAS PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL IN THE CAPACITY OF THE MACHINE. PASCAL WAS ALSO THE

    SMOOTH WORKING OF THE SO-CALLED “CARRY FIRST PERSON TO SHRINK AND ADAPT FOR HIS

    MECHANISM” – THE MECHANISM WHICH ALLOWS PURPOSE A LANTERN GEAR, USED IN TURRET

    AN ADDITION OF 1 TO 9 ON ONE DIAL TO REPLACE CLOCKS AND WATER WHEELS, WHICH WAS CAPABLE

    THE 9 WITH A 0 AND CARRY 1 TO THE NEXT DIAL. OF RESISTING THE STRENGTH OF ANY OPERATOR

    HIS INNOVATION MADE EACH DIGIT INDEPENDENT INPUT WITH VERY LITTLE ADDED FRICTION.

    PASCAL WAS ALSO INFLUENTIAL SINCE HE


    SOUGHT TO COMMERCIALIZE HIS MACHINE (ALBEIT WITH ONLY
    LIMITED SUCCESS). WHILST OTHER FORMS OF CALCULATIONS
    (USING ABACUS, CALCULI, COUNTING BOARDS AND OTHER MEANS
    OF READY RECKONING) WERE IN WIDESPREAD USE, PASCAL’S
    MACHINE SYMBOLIZED A STEP FORWARD COMPATIBLE WITH THE
    INCREASING INTEREST IN USING MACHINES TO DISPLACE TEDIOUS
    WORK. IN THIS SENSE HIS INVENTION WAS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN
    THE DEVELOPMENT WHICH CULMINATED THREE CENTURIES LATER, IN THE
    INVENTION OF THE MICROPROCESSOR DEVELOPED FOR A BUSICOM
    CALCULATOR IN 1971, THE MICROPROCESSOR IS NOW AT THE HEART
    OF ALL COMPUTERS AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.

    Other Related Developments Often Reflected Aspects Of The


    Pascaline. Either Because They Were Actually Inspired By It Or At Least Shaped By The
    Same Historical Influences Which Led Pascal To Develop His Invention. Gottfried
    Leibniz Invented His Leibniz Wheels After 1671 After Trying To Add An Automatic
    Multiplication Feature To The Pascaline In 1820. Thomas De Colmar Designed
    His Arithmometer, Which, Whilst It Is Not At All Clear He Ever Saw Leibniz

    Device, Either Re-Invented Or Utilized Leibniz Invention Of The Step Drum. The
    Arithmometer Was The First Mechanical Calculator Strong Enough And Reliable
    Enough To Be Used Daily In An Office Environment.
