Burkhardt Arithmometer
 
Arthur Burkhardt of Glashutte was the first maker in Germany to build an arithmometer of the Thomas de Colmar type, delivering his machine in 1878. Between then and his death in 1918, Burkhardt improved his calculating machines, and at least four different models were manufactured and sold to factories, merchants and banks.
