MonroMatic 8N213 Electromechanical Calculator

That bass! Man what a beast of a sound. This must be what inspired the 90s jungle scene.

[@Skidtire]

So happy that asmr channel helped me find this channel

[@marsbeads]

me too

[@jameskwaka]

This machine could be used as a laser cannon sound effect in a sci fi movie. I love your channel and your wonderful voice.

The later IQ-213 added a mechanism for transferring the multiplier from the accumulator into the multiplier register with a single button. It also has keyboard memory and a function to multiply from the keyboard memory.

That's amazing! It sounds very much similar to the Facit CA2-16. ...I'll take two! 😁

[@borlibaer]

Wow 😮 basicaly bringing mechanics to mathematical calculation is more impressive to me than electronical digital computer technology

[@Pepis92]

This is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing it!

[@marsbeads]

love your voice!

[@someonespadre]

I think this machine is featured in Monroe’s book of Civil Engineering “figuring,” early 1960s. They didn’t calculate, they figured.

Please come back

What's the difference between what happens at 16:52 and 17:09? Thank you, loved this video very much! Cheers!

I love pinwheel calculators

[@stper6]

Omg I'm in love! 🤣🤣🤣

[@CharredSteak]

Makes my Allen adding machine look easy to operate lol

[@dwightross3910]

This calculator is crazy you gotta do calculations TO DO CALCULATIONS!

[@1stSpyGuy]

Funnily enough, out of all the mechanical ones I own, this is the one with the least of that. This is a fixed-point machine. You set it up how you'd like and it does the rest for you. The other ones have all-manual decimal placement.

[@annaoaulinovna]

very clean english. it have divide and remainder?

This design looks superior to the Friden STW 10. How does it compare?

[@1stSpyGuy]

I would argue it's superior because of some main features: * The Monroe has multiplication back transfer, something that Friden would not have until the (quite rare) SBT-10 * The Monroe has the option for automatic rounding of decimal points, which the Friden does not * Additionally, the Monroe could do automatic decimal point alignment (as seen when shifting the carriage for additions, for example), while the STW-10 could "only" select the decimal point precision you want for division All of this comes in a slightly smaller and lighter package overall. Bonus feature is the sound - the Friden is shamelessly loud, whereas the Monroe works with a quite pleasant hum. I always wanted do do a proper video about the Friden machines, but unfortunately I believe none of my STW-10s or my SBT-10 are in full working condition. :(

[@Wyrmwould]

@@1stSpyGuy Oh my goodness I would love to see a comparison video! Please do that if you ever can.

[@someonespadre]

This machine is a little bit more advanced than my Model K

[@miladirani4313]

please show inside mechanism

keyboard is cleared
