As a rather uneducated chap, you completely blew my mind when you multiplied 75*12. I, of course, know how to multiply by traditional pen and paper, but I never thought of it the way this machine does it! It has, quite literally, shifted my perspective on multiplication and even maths as a whole. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
You might be interested in the way math is being taught to the kids in school these days. It’s pretty mind expanding if you’ve never thought of math that way.
TH-cam has really decided to start pushing your machine videos for me, and I am loving these. You might have found more success with these if your channel was only focused on stuff like this...
@@ChrisStaecker Well you do seem to have a lot of good lectures on your channel too. Unfortunately mainly of stuff I have already studied in University it seems. The "TH-cam algorithm" really prefers channels with a tight focus. I'm sad to see the moment I have seen all of your adding machine videos. What will I then do??
@@xremming That's interesting- I've actually wondered about this. Sometimes I get the sense that my courses give me some kind of algorithmic boost because I'm uploading regularly (even though I don't notify subscribers since I know the bulk isn't interested in my classes). Without those, my uploads would be very very infrequent. But who knows really? Thanks for watching!
just found your videos on youtube's recommendation a few days ago, and i hope that's a sign that other people are too. i'm genuinely baffled that you only have a few thousand views a video because the quality of these vids, and more importantly your wit for sure rival any other much larger channel i've seen, and seems to have for years. this is great stuff
When calculators were technology and peoples' names were 'Otto Sunstrand' I would love to go back for just a couple years. Are there any movies about computer scientists traveling back in time to the Victorian era?
I see that "acoustic" adding machines were quite common in ages past. Were they used in more in outlying areas / developing countries that didn't have consistent electrical power?
I think the mechanical ones were popular everywhere. I’ve heard introducing the electric motor made the machines less reliable. And it wasn’t a big improvement for usability, so most people would be just fine with a mechanical.

I can tell you are uneducated because you're still able to think.

As opposed to what else?

@@ChrisStaecker I also wonder about this. I still need to check out your lectures, but I definitely get them suggested to me on TH-cam...
How many more Sunstrands can we create? Is each photon a sun strand? The sunstrand you created is quite aesthetic, what a beautiful Strandenstein.

That Victor calculator has a beautiful art-deco lettering and design. Do the green keys glow in the dark?
Sadly no-
So no Radium for you, then. 🙁
@@capolaya no superpowers*
@@capolaya Mmmmmm, radium. 🤤
Ive never been more excited to know about calculators until now. You sir have a talent 👏
Just discovered your videos - love them. I miss the days of these adding machines and long green accounting ledgers.

Impeccable.

Good vid
Hi Chris or should I call you Victor? At 3:18, the total is reading 1340 instead of 1325, what is going on there?
You should have put the 75 in the full keyboard not the 12
Yes that would be faster- I thought the way I did it was clearer though.
1:52 lol at mixture people
Can it do division?
It’s only barely capable of multiplication, with no built in features for division.
Those analogue machines are amezing except those jokes at the end.
You might like videos by jaap scherphuis- More mechanism, less jokes
Chris Staecker THX alot👍
Victor model 700 - If Apple designers made addign machines
lol 1:48
I created him. This mine...
