ABSTRACT:
A mechanical calculator employs a register consisting of gears. Each register gear has two sets of teeth. One set has teeth all around the circumference of the wheel while the other set consists of a single carry-over tooth. The register gears are spaced widely enough apart that they do not engage one another. An intermittent carry-over motion is transmitted from one register gear to an adjacent register gear by a selectively insertable and removable carry-over gear, which is mechanically unconnected to the remainder of the calculator. The operations of multiplication and division are enabled by a set of individually selectively insertable and removable multiplying gears. The number of teeth on these gears, and their diameters, are integral multiples of those on the register gears. The multiplying gears are mechanically unconnected to the remainder of the calculator.
