This article presents the accomplishments of Chaim Selig Slonimski (1810-1904), an important but not sufficiently known figure in the history of calculating devices. The authors briefly discuss Slonimski's life and the recognition he achieved in the 19th century in both Prussia and Russia as well as his patents, financing attempts, similarities to the work of others, and a detailed account of his adding devices of 1845 and 1846. The authors claim that Slonimski invented more calculating devices than it is currently known and present a recently discovered exemplar of one of these devices. They found that Slonimski invented at least two different adding devices and three different multiplying devices and designed a machine to calculate logarithms. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
