The last one was a warning leaflet, to let civilians know to evacuate an area because it was to be bombed.
You might be right. The planes in the picture appear to be B-29 bombers.
I believe that you are correct. The USA did air drop such leaflets over cities before bomibing them to reduce civilian casualties.
I’ve actually used an “addiator” at some point in my youth, I can’t recall the circumstances but I recognized right away.
I used one in detailing parts for metal building in about 1975. The front face was for adding and the rear face was for subtracting. The one I had was marked in feet, inches, and fractions of an inch to 1/16" accuracy. Quick to use and accurate.
The reason the clocks showed the phases of the moon was because if one had to travel at night, it was useful to know when the moon would be rising, because one would then have the moonlight to help make it easier to see your way. There were no such things as streetlights, and what there was, was limited.
The pocket-adding machines were used well into the late 1970s and early 1980s. I used to use one while working on criminal cases. They finally came out with digital pocket calculators and note/memo devices. My wife got me a digital device for my birthday and I couldn't believe she spent so much money. It cost over fifty dollars! That was a lot of money back then, especially for us.
lol us too friend. $50 was a pretty penny
That last one was one of the leaflets dropped on Japan warning of the approaching nuclear attack in 1945.
(Hiroshima on the morning of August 6, 1945, was bright, sunny, and perhaps a little uncomfortably warm. Except for a lingering anxiety among its residents that they were due for something special - Hiroshima had been spared the air raids and firebombs launched that summer against its neighbors - there was but the passing buzz of American B-29s to suggest anything to be concerned about. Several days earlier, much of Japan, including Hiroshima, was showered by American forces with millions of leaflets, each containing a seemingly humanitarian plea to evacuate the citizens of twelve cities named on the leaflet’s reverse side. There are three known versions of this leaflet, designed by General Curtis LeMay, and the cities named were almost all of questionable military or economic value. Hiroshima was not among them. At 8:15 in the morning, the city was leveled by the “brief reincarnations of distant suns.”)
It was a cowards move
@@stevengatti7261 ultimately it saved many millions. On both sides.
My family wouldn’t exist if those bombs hadn’t been dropped. My father was in the UDT and they were going to go in and blowup the coral reefs of Japan,it would have been a deadly mission. All they had for equipment were a snorkel,a mask and fins.
I recognized the Additor right away as my Dad had one which he kept in his briefcase. He used to let me play with it. Nice memory.
There was a smaller, more simple version of the Addiator that we used to keep track of our spending in the grocery store. We didn't have a lot of money growing up, so every penny really counted.
My mother gave me a Pocket Counter when I was 8-9, around 1972, so I could keep track when shopping.
I had one too, that my parents gave me when I was in Jr. High. But, by the time I was in high school in 1974, Texas Instruments released their simple calculator the Ti-10. I brought it into school for some reason and it was stolen out of my locker. It took me a week to gather the courage to tell my Dad someone stole the calculator.
I thought the first one was a Victorian attitude adjuster. Before it became illegal to discipline for a better world. 😮 Humans were creative teaching the younger to respect elders at one time. And no I'm not talking about abuse there was a difference, the implication without action 99.9% of the time was enough.
I have one of those Calculators here. It belonged to my Mother just after the war.
I had 3 addiator"s given to me for Christmas when I was about 10 years old.. At that time I was having a hard time in math class. it really helped. I never got what I wanted for Christmas that year just those addiator's.
I got the liquer glass, the mortar, the moon phase on the clock and the collar studs! Most I've identified correctly ever!
I still have my Grandfather's pocket adding machine similar to this one. He had it on the desk in his study and I can remember him using it to add bills and such.
I collect all kinds of calculators, manual and electronic, some still in the original packaging. I have one of these in perfect shape. I am going to get one each of the advanced Curta Calculators one of these days. If you have never seen a Curta, go look. They are awesome and quite expensive, with a great backstory. Well worth your time to look. They are beautiful.
At first, I thought the Victorian page turner was a weaving 'sword', used for compacting the threads on an upright loom. It was the equivalent of the beater on the more familiar floor loom.
I recognized the Addiator at once, as I have a similar one in red. They're really very easy to use.
I knew the collar studs, because I still have a few that belonged to my grandfather. Not as fancy as the ones pictured, though.
I've seen enough grandfather/long-case clocks on 'Antiques Road Trip' to have identified the moon dial easily.
That adding machine could also multiply by repeated addition -- not hard at all. It could even divide, but that was a bit more complicated. I used one as a HS student and I think I still have one somewhere.
3:50 I used to have one of those.
That "Please tell us in the comments" comes way too soon!!
Nothing like drinking to get through your day, huh monks.
Hilarious! I guess serving their god wasn't as glorious as they thought. Needed some inebriation to deal with monkhood. 😆
There was a lot of work in their gardens. They usually raised all their own food and performed at all church functions. @@smorgasbroad1132
We had an Addiator when we were kids in the 1960s.
A friend of mine has one of those adders. He collects calculators and has several mechanical calculators.
One of those got me through Junior high math in the early sixties
👁👁 Always a pleasure
I had an addict or when I was a kid 4:18
♥♥♥♥
I believe the last item was used by Japanese soldiers during the war for identification of American planes. Soldiers on the ground had to know which planes to shoot at and which planes to not shoot at. Also spotting enemy aircraft can provide information on enemy movements. Yes visual aircraft ID is still important even with today’s technology.
I have a set of viewmaster slides from WWII that were used to train in the different types of aircraft,
