EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from an American manufacturer's catalog in 1918 showcases the remarkable AUTOMATIC COMPUTING SCALE. A true artifact of its time, this vintage piece of technology represents the early days of computing and automation. The scale, with its delicate porcelain surface, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship that defined American manufacturing during this era. The image transports us back to a bustling grocer's shop in 1918 America, where this cutting-edge scale would have been proudly displayed. Its intricate design suggests a balance between functionality and aesthetics, making it not only a practical tool but also an object of beauty. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how far technology has come since then. What was once considered state-of-the-art is now seen as archaic by modern standards. Yet, there is something undeniably charming about these early computing devices – they embody a sense of simplicity and elegance that seems lost in today's world. This print serves as a reminder of our technological progress while paying homage to the inventors who paved the way for our digital age. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed over the past century and appreciate the advancements that continue to shape our lives today.
