Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. My name is Fuad Hirmas and i love old mechanical stuff (in general).

Last week i came across with a very old mechanical calculator made in Germany (As far as i know). Its in mint condition and everything spings great.

I'd love to learn how to use it and i hope someone in this forum can help me with some tips or where to find more info about it.

Any info would be much appreciated. I attached a picture of it.

Best regards.

Hello Fuad,

Too bad no one has replied yet. There is a small but specialised group of collectors who share a lot of information through websites. I assume that the different languages (German, ...) are not a problem these days. (I myself use the Deepl Translator extension in my browser).

Here are some links as a starting point:
*About Rema 1:

About the mechanics (inventor W.T. Odhner who built machines himself and soon sold a licence to Brunsviga):

Have fun looking into the past of these interesting machines.
Greetings,
Bart

Bart, I replied to Fuad with a link to instructions for such a machine but unfortunately I clicked on 'Reply to author' rather than 'Reply to all', so this would not be known to others here. Thanks for adding the links to those other very informative sites.
