Awesome 1936 ad for the Brunsviga mechanical calculator, which apparently was used aboard the Hindenburg zeppelin to calculate its course. The vessel flew for only 14 months till its disastrous crash in May 1937.

The calculator illustrated in the ad is a slightly later version of this machine, a Brunsviga Nova II. This is amongst the first machines I added to my collection.
