A mechanical calculator,
or calculating machine, is a mechanical device used to perform automatically
the basic operations of arithmetic. Most mechanical calculators were comparable

Two decades after
Schickard's supposedly failed attempt, in 1642, Blaise Pascal decisively solved

was called Pascal's Calculator or Pascaline.
