Old calculator Aritmometer Payen P3A (1897) and how to use it

An old mechanical calculator from 19th century. the model is P3A, were built only around 150 devices of this model.
It still works after 130 years, we will do additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions.
Very nice to see his gears moving.

Interesante máquina. Y también muy buen conservada. Considerando los años que tiene

Gracias juan. De vez en cuando falla y hay que arreglarlo, pero increíblemente todavía funciona.

As I understand simple multiplications is no different from addition so it is possible to do it in addition position.

[@oldtypewritersandcalculators]

You are right, the slider of multiplications and additions in the same, basically a multiplication is a series of additions.

One quick question: What are the measurements of the machine’s Wood Case?

[@oldtypewritersandcalculators]

It's cm 18 (D), 9.5 (H), 58.7 (L)

[@abcstardust]

Can you tell me how much the Top Plate measures from front to back? I can at least get started on the wood case when I know this. Thank you so.

[@oldtypewritersandcalculators]

I will tell you later all the measures

[@abcstardust]

Thank you.

[@oldtypewritersandcalculators]
