The Pascaline, invented by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century, is one of the earliest mechanical calculators. It operates using a series of interlocking gears and wheels to perform addition and subtraction. When a user inputs numbers by rotating dials, the gears move in such a way that they represent the numerical values, allowing for calculations to be displayed through windows on the device. Its design laid the groundwork for future developments in computing technology.
