Mechanical computers

Stumbled across this video on early naval fire control computers, I know there's an automaton group and I thought some of you might appreciate this.

Are there more of these? It clearly demonstrates some mechanical principals some of us aren't familiar with and would be super helpful in robotics.

I haven't found anything else as comprehensive as this one, I don't think ever. I think it's a pretty incredible demonstration of mathematical and mechanical prowess to begin with and it's still so well illustrated. They just don't make 'em like they used to..

It's not exactly the same subject matter, but Hackaday featured a similar video a while back on how a differential works that was pretty fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYAw79386WI
