In 1694, a German mathematician named Gottfried Wilhem von Leibniz, improved the Pascaline by creating a machine that could also multiply. Leibniz's mechanical multiplier worked by a system of gears and dials. By studying Pascal's original notes and drawings, Leibniz was able to refine his machine. It wasn't until 1820 that mechanical calculators ...

The M-1 Carbine was the standard semi-automatic rifle for all American troops and was later fitted to be fully automatic.

Much smaller boxes of circuit boards and microchips called 'modems' do the ...
