If you want to compare the sounds of some typewriters during the last century you can check here. ruclips.net/video/b6T6ak4vYcM/видео.html and here the is the inside of a calculator with the internal mechanisms moving ruclips.net/video/9x2DvuJnxfA/видео.html
I think it's unfathomable how in 100 years we went from large, slow mechanical devices that could only add, to devices that can do billions of operations per second and not break a sweat. The digital age has led to a quality of life never seen before in human history.

Oh, I wish you had a cash register from the 1960's. They were mechanical, but had a motor in them. The clunks they made were in a rhythm that was almost musical. I miss that sound!
The Saba Milano 1954 (at 9:49) is quite remarquable compared to the other pure mechanical machines of the same years. When I was a kid in late 60's, I played with a similar but slightly bigger machine at my dad's office, it was driven by an electric motor. Totally automated. Just pressing buttons like an electronic calculator but it was all mechanical. It could do multiplication... and division as well.
Great idea to make a vido about the sound of calculators! Sound and feel add so much fun, that simply doesn't exist nowadays when you compute with a smartphone.
Very nice. Almost mesmerizing. Did you ever thought of doing a vid with all the same calculations with all those nice computers? "How does it sound to add 457664 + 29834, divided by 365, multiplied by 7", sort of.
@10:10 I have the same model (3D11). When i did buy it from ebay, some number wheels were stuck, some did not go higher than a certain number, one did turn back when released the number and zero suppression didn't work. Only 5 columns did work fine (2 in the centre and the last 3). After partial disassemble and a lot of cleaning and loosing parts, it works fine, including zero suppression.
@@oldtypewritersandcalculators Not really, there is a site on internet which explains how to disassemble and cleaning. I did only have to partial disassemble it since it was only the number part with problems. Some stuck parts behind the rocking frame needed some heat, oil and patience.
The shifting mechanical display on the MC4M is really impressive. I wonder if this could have been generalized to an electromechanical word processor with larger character wheels. It probably would've been enormous and very heavy, though.
You are right, I made this video just to hear the different sounds of the calculators, so I type casual numbers. I made another video where I type the same calculation in every calculator. it's this: studio.ruclips.net/user/videodSEjFXM_CVs/edit
I'm looking for my dad's Marchant with the top register that went back and forth like an ear of corn. He used it for uranium processing and for mixing perchlorates into solid rocket fuel.
Woah, I heard some mechanical calculators can do factors, percentages and exponentiation, but uranium processing? That's really crazy. True marvels of engineering.
Some of these are mechanic only, and have a range of gears and levers moving that show the correct result of calculation. Others use electric motors to hel the gears moving, old engineers were fantastic.
they are for each individual digits basically. the keypad ones are basically the ones much closer in timeline to modern day calculators. the otherones either haven't figured how to design for keypads, or perhaps couldn't do so due to patents. could be various reasons.
Thanks, in this video I didn't performed a particular operation, it was just to reproduce the sounds. In another video there are the calculators all making the same calculation, may be it's better.
@@oldtypewritersandcalculators also to get the full effect, you need to have a room of 20 of them going at once as well as typewriters & of course, cigarette smoke.
Привет, Ник, это было только для того, чтобы показать звук калькуляторов. Я сделал еще одно видео, в котором 30 калькуляторов делают тот же расчет, вы можете его оценить, вы найдете его здесь: ruclips.net/video/dSEjFXM_CVs/видео.html

Yes, it has been a huge progress in one century. Our ancestors would never imagine it.
I love the sounds old machines make. Great video!
Many thanks, me too I love to hear souds and see mechanisms moving
Excellent collection...
Thanks. In th channell there is also a more complete video if you want.
that calculator can run Doom for sure
😀 May be Doom 1
That printer sounds like 6000 rounds per minute.
@@robinbrowne5419 some old printers make a lot of noise but move little.

I think it was a very nice sound,
I really didn’t think Calculators were that old
last century engineers were brilliant
I was hoping to see a representation of the CURTA company hand-helds like my Dad had.
I don't have one, hope to find one of these soon or later.
l wish these kinds of mechanical machines would be still available to buy commercially. No batteries, no solar power needed...
you are right, me too sometime wish it

Thanks for writing your memory. Nowadays remembering these devices it seems it was another era.

You are absolutely right!
So Those are the machines I've often seen in old cartoons! :D
🙂yes. and also in old movies
*CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK*
“James, no cheating!”

Thanks Landro, it's a nice idea, I will do in future.

Probably would be very complicated.
Ho visto parecchi tuoi video e sei veramente bravo a spiegare le cose. Complimenti
Grazie Milena, sono lieto che ti piacciano
The first few sounds remind me of "Are you Being Served?"
ah ah, I didn't noticed
It would be cool if you would narrate what inputs you were making

Many thanks!
This is so cool. It's fxxkin awesome.
Thanks
Bellissimo viaggio nel tempo, complimenti per la collezione
Love the sound I love it love it ❤😌
Это не просто калькуляторы . Это своего рода звуки целой эпохи... В этом что то есть...
Вы правы, это отличный момент
I love how loud and mechanically clunky they are
It's a very particular sound
at 3.18, the Olivetti machine is a "Simplisumma MC3" and not a "Simplicissima MC3", that as far as i know, does not exist
You are right, it's an error, thanks for the correction
I'm amazed at how the last 3 calculators were made this century, yet they look like something made in the mid to late 70s
Ypu mean this decade?
Oh wait, im stupid
Uau! Que coleção sensacional!
Thanks Ricardo
What about the Curta?
I don't already have, hope to find it-
I'm looking for my dad's Marchant with the top register that went back and forth like an ear of corn. He used it for uranium processing and for mixing perchlorates into solid rocket fuel.
So may be you will be the first man o Mars.
Woah, I heard some mechanical calculators can do factors, percentages and exponentiation, but uranium processing? That's really crazy. True marvels of engineering.
These are some gawd damn gismos, doodads and thingy-ma-jigs.
Yes, also the inside is very fun to see moving
I wonder where Olivetti Logos was used in 2010.
There are still many in Italian offices also il 2023
Congratulations man ! You didn't even do a single addition!
🙂It was for showing the sound of these calculators.
Does the Olivetti need a new tape, or are certain numbers worn out?
Most of them need a new ribbbon. I promise to do maintenace soon
For sure that working at night with those machines at night wouldn't be compatible with your neighbours sleep
The noise of the electrical calculator is terrible. No one could sleep in the condominium.
this is gonna blow up lol, but wonderful machines!
many thanks.
How do all of these work?
Some of these are mechanic only, and have a range of gears and levers moving that show the correct result of calculation. Others use electric motors to hel the gears moving, old engineers were fantastic.
@@oldtypewritersandcalculators Thats really interesting thank you for sharing!
@@Chicken. They're simply automating how you'd calculate the four fundamental operands by hand.
satisfying
Yes it's relaxing.
Why are they a lot of number lines?
they are for each individual digits basically. the keypad ones are basically the ones much closer in timeline to modern day calculators.
the otherones either haven't figured how to design for keypads, or perhaps couldn't do so due to patents. could be various reasons.
zefellowbud is right, sometimes there are many number lines because one show the number of calculations, the other the result.
This would be even better if you stated the function you were performing as you performed it.
Thanks, in this video I didn't performed a particular operation, it was just to reproduce the sounds. In another video there are the calculators all making the same calculation, may be it's better.

@@snowwhite7677 ah ah could be the idea for a video.
Now I want one lmao
This one 2:12. 4:35
How the heck do they even work?
Often this surprises also me.
i swear THIS IS PEAK ENGINEERING
When didn't existed electronics, Engineers had to find other solutions.
@@oldtypewritersandcalculators ill research it soon
non c'è bisogno di tanta violenza sulle calcolatrici però... XD

Yes, something of the sort.
