This is because after one reached the 9th disc and counted to the next, it would require two digits, 1 and 0. Therefore, the 1 would be carried to the next rod, the tens rod. This would leave you with one 10, and 0 ones. Then for the next number, 11, you would move up a single disc in the ones column again. So you would still have one 10, and now one 1. Counting would continue as such, with each multiple of ten being transferred and accounted for in the appropriate column or rod.

Why was the abacus invenented?
People realized that they could only count so high with their fingers and toes, so the abacus was invented as an early calculator.
What purpose of abacus?
The abacus is a calculation aid. It is usually only used for addition and subtraction but experts can (with effort) perform multiplication, division, and even operations as difficult as square roots and cube roots.It is not a calculator (it only provides storage one of the numbers, the user still is doing the calculation) or a computer (which must automate calculations).
Who made the abacus?
1. The abacus was invented by the ancient Chinese (Not true; see 3 below). Different types of abacuses have been invented by many others such as the Romans and Egyptians. 2. Actually it's often wrongly attributed to china. In fact, the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. (Sort of; see 3 below) 3. The first constrained bead abacus was the Roman Hand Abacus. The Chinese learned of the Roman Hand Abacus through trade with Rome over the Silk Roads. But they thought it an inferior device and ignored it for over a thousand years. Then an interest in rapid calculation with the rise in business caused them to develop the bamboo rod constrained bead abacus based on the Roman Hand Abacus model. The Romans, in turn, great engineers and copiers that they were, used the Babylonian's line abacus in both decimal and duodecimal modes. The only extant line abacus is The Salamis Tablet, circa 300 BC, but the design was used by the Babylonians and Sumerians as early as 2300 BC. BTW, the line abacus can do all four arithmetic operations on numbers in exponential form with bases of 10, 12, or 60 (decimal, duodecimal, sexagesimal). Pebbles could be used as tokens to represent the numbers. In Latin the word for pebbles is "calculos", from which we get words like calculate and calculus.
