This work investigated how to advance the design of integrator mechanisms and fit them for tasks more complex than mere numerical calculating machines and was extremely important in the development of analogue computing."Jane Carruthers </em> unknown

The machine could produce tables of logarithms."Wiberg modified the Scheutz difference engine making it smaller and lighter and used it to calculate a series of interest tables published in 1860. Efter improving the print mechanism of his machine Wiberg presented it to the Academy of Sciences in Paris which voted in 1863 to "accorder son approbation à cette belle et ingénieuse machine" the paper offered. Wiberg later used the machine to produce a set of tables of seven-place logarithms of the numbers from 1 to 1000000 together with logarithms of trigonometric functions published in 1876 under the title 'Tables de logarithmes calculées et imprimées au moyen de la machine à calculer sw M.

18908Archive consists of the trade catalog art work for cloth finishing and packaging machinery built by the Parks & Woolson Machine Co. of Springfield VT. The earliest art work 1890s was executed by the Lincoln & Smith Press of Boston then the James McKinnon Co. designers engravers and electrotypers of Springfield Mass. but all the 1920s work was by the Springfield Photo-Engraving Co. which may have been their successors. The normal procedure was for the artist to take a photograph in the earlier versions a mounted studio photograph then a "blue" from a glassplate negative then a glossy black & white photo and interpret it according to instructional notation. In the earlier work this was done by painting right on the photograph. But the 1920s work the majority of the collection is painted on separate board with tissue overlay. Some of the latest versions also have photographic proofs of the printing plate made from the artwork. In the marginal notes appear the names of some of Parks & Woolson's clients for specific machines: Renfrew Manufacturing Co.; Clinton Woolen Mfg. Co.; Lebanon Woolen Mills; Woonsocket Rubber Co.; Farr Alpaca Co. The names of such machines as have titles show the inheritance from the English textile manufacturing trade: Lancashire Winder and Uxbridge Inspecting Machine or their origin in the United States: the Vermont napper or the Pennsylvania plush shear and occasionally the inventor: Baird Webster P.T. Wilson etc. Parks & Woolson themselves were fond of strange combination words to describe their own multi-stage machines: Seamlethru; Transferotor. This archive shows in great detail the changes in a wide range of machinery to finish and fold or roll cloth over a crucial period in the textile industry as well as illuminating the interpretation of a machine photograph for half-tone duplication.

In 1854 the Scheutzes took their engine no. 2 to England in the hopes of marketing it. There they were introduced to Babbage who received them with great friendliness and showed a lively interest in their work. Babbage devoted two whole days to investigating Scheutz' engine for which he had much praise especially for the way they had succeeded in building it with the funds at their disposals. As part of his effort to promote the Scheutz Engine Babbage gave a talk on it before the Academie des Sciences illustrated with drawings by his son henry in which Babbage's system of mechanical notation was used to describe the machines construction and functions.
