This invention marked the beginning of the calculating machine industry in the United States. Frank Baldwin (1838-1925) replaced the Leibniz stepped wheel with a wheel that had nine spring loaded pins around its edge. Baldwin's machine eliminated the reversing gears previously needed to switch from addition to subtraction, and was a significant advance. |
