Liebniz attempted to improve the pascaline. One of his two machines was lost and the other did not work as intended. However, he had produced the Liebniz Wheel which worked as a mechanical calculator - even though on a different principle from the pascaline.
The Pascaline was one of the earliest mechanical calculators invented by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. Its primary use was for performing basic arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction. The device was intended to assist with complex mathematical calculations, particularly in the fields of engineering, astronomy, and physics. The Pascaline paved the way for the development of more advanced calculating machines and laid the foundation for modern computing technology.
