Messrs. Scheutzs New Calculating Machine
Messrs. Pehr (Per) Georg Scheutz (1785-1873) and Edvard Scheutzs (of Stockholm, Sweden) New Calculating (Tabulating) Machine. The first Scheutzian calculation engine, invented in 1837 and finalized in 1843. This machine, which he constructed with his son Edvard Scheutz, was based on Charles Babbages difference engine. An improved model, roughly the size of a piano (pictured here), was created in 1853 and subsequently demonstrated at the Worlds Fair in Paris, 1855. Date: 1855

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Messrs. Per Georg Scheutz and Edvard Scheutz's New Calculating Machine, a remarkable invention from Stockholm, Sweden, finalized in 1843. The father-son duo created this intricate machine based on the principles of Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar and Pierre-Laurent Agnes de Sainte-Croix's difference engine, which Per Georg Scheutz had studied during his time in England. The machine, displayed here in an improved model from 1853, is roughly the size of a piano and was designed to perform complex numerical calculations with great precision. The Scheutzian calculation engine, an essential precursor to modern computers, was driven by an intricate network of cogs, wheels, and mechanized components. It was capable of performing calculations based on differences, making it particularly effective for solving algebraic equations and performing complex mathematical operations. The machine's advanced design and impressive capabilities earned it international recognition, leading to its demonstration at the World's Fair in Paris in 1855. This image offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of 19th-century mathematics and mechanical engineering, where the foundations of modern computing were being laid down through ingenious inventions like the Scheutzian calculating machine.
