A demonstration of Babbage's Difference Engine, unveiled at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California on May 1, 2008. This machine belongs to Nathan Myhrvold and is on loan to the CHM for one year. CHM volunteer Tim Robinson is turning the crank - Tim has built his own difference engine, based on the Babbage design, but entirely out of Meccano parts.
