Claude Perrault is probably the inventor of the first "pocket" adding machine with automatic carry-over mechanism. Some years after Pascal (1643), and some years before Leibniz (1694), Perrault's adder, built circa 1666 is a very important device for the history of sciences. A replica has been made to show how it works. / Valéry Monnier (www.arithmometre.org, www.ami19.org)
