10s-CARRY / PIN WHEEL / ODHNER TYPE An Inside View of the » FELIKS-M ARITHMOMETER « |
The 1st picture shows a state after the 1st INPUT = 97531 and the 2nd INPUT = 12345 will touch the ARITHMETIC UNIT. Count the active pins! When the 10s-Carry has to happen, the 10s-CARRY-THORN on the left side of the Figure-Wheels ( beside the »2« ) lift the 10s-CARRY-ACTIVATOR. When the 10s-CARRY-PIN of the NEIGHBOR-PIN-WHEEL passes the lifted 10s-Carry-Activator, its SLOPE pushes the 10s-Carry-Pin in row to the other pins ... ... with the effect to move the Figure-Wheel one step further. The SHOULDER of the Pin-Wheel behind the 10s-Carry-Pin pushes back the 10s-Carry-Activator in its idle position - and the RESULT is ... 97531 + 12345 = 109876 See also: 10s-CARRY for SPLIT-STEPPED DRUM / MONROE TYPE ... impressum: ************************************************************************** © C.HAMANN http://public.BHT-Berlin.de/hamann 10/09/08 |
