Increase in hardness and strength, decrease in ductility.
The first mechanical calculators were made of materials such as metal, wood, and glass. Metal components like gears and levers were essential for the mechanical operation of the calculator, while wooden casings provided structural support. Glass was often used for the display windows to allow users to see the numbers being calculated. Over time, as technology advanced, calculators evolved to incorporate a wider range of materials, including plastics and silicon chips for electronic components.
