Calculating Tim

- Welcome to the Corona Virus Chronicles... Tim is now self-isolating, and presenting his videos directly from his apartment, via a web link.
Calculators come in many shapes and sizes, and some are really quite amazing. It will come as no surprise tat Tim has some intriguing examples in his collection!
First we see 'Martin the Martian' - a mechanical device for doing multiplication. There is a version of this toy that came out over 100 years ago - see www.grand-illusions.com/educa... - but this is a more modern version, made of plastic. Across the bottom are the numbers 1 to 12. Move the Martian's feet until they are pointing at two numbers that you want to multiply - the answer will appear in the little box that the Martian is holding.
The next example looks like a 100,000 Lire bank note from Italy. It comes folded in half, like a little book, and at the back are pages for making notes. But inside the front page is a solar powered calculator. It has virtually no thickness, and is incredibly light. So very easy to carry around in your pocket.
Then Tim demonstrates a much heavier example, presumably designed to grace someone's desk. The thing he really likes about this one is that when you press a button, the lid lifts up very slowly and elegantly, to reveal the keyboard. It also functions as a calendar.
The fourth example is something of a novelty. It looks like traditional 35mm film canister. The end of the film is poking out, ready to be loaded into your camera. But looks are deceptive. Pull the end of the film slightly further out of the canister, and you can see that it is a calculator, with everything happening within the thickness of the film. Rather then Kodachrome, the name of the canister is Calcuchrome!
Finally, made by the company Bandai back in the 1980s, an amazing combination device, that is both a calculator and a sliding blocks puzzle. The really ingenious thing about this device, especially when you think how old it is, is that a particular key, say the numeral 6, will always function as a 6, wherever it is moved to. Each key, including the + - x and ÷, has a unique pattern of raised dots on the back, so no matter when it is placed, the calculator recognises that particular number or function by the pattern of dots, not by the position it is in. Really clever! - Наука та технологія
I felt disturbed when Tim typed 666 into his calculator and made us look at it for a while.
Hail Satan, Tim, Hail Satan.
Its just his home number.
too much tokin - you go paranoid

0:17 tim's classic 'huh' sound always puts a smile on my face
Tim, do you have any novelty radios? I get a kick out of them! I had a folding one as a child, loved it very much but I never found it again :c
That PuzzleCal calculator really is marvellous. Rather tricky to design, too; it needs a minimum of 5*4*(1+floor(log(5*4,2)))=100 little switches, perhaps more to ensure they're fully pressed (for instance if every key has dimples on opposite corners). The positions are probably connected in parallel so it can't even detect the place of the pressed key.
The Puzzlecal is kind of interesting. Obviously some amount of thought and engineering went into making that novelty. I wonder how people responded to it back then.
8:52 I knew Tim was metal🤘
Dude should have called it "Calcula-Tim"
Or Calculating Tim's. Or even ' Tim for Maths.'
Or Contimplating Numbers
Mul-tim-plications
I WANT THE FIRST CALCULATOR, WHERE CAN I GET IT? PLZ
me too
"Calcuchrome" ~ Tim's Videos of NEVER ENDING WORTH.
Careful Tim, I think you just summoned Beelzebub with that last calculation :-)
Marvelous novelties Tim!
Lovely inventions!
Hey tim thanks for entertaining us in this pandemic. Stay safe.
Make it says 80085
In the words of Eddie Izzard, "Oh, grow up!" 😀
Very lovely. Very intricate
I love your videos!
These are amazing
Those numbers looks questioning
Better buy one of those!
Why is hipster Tony Stark on the lire?
caravaggio would get drunk and stab tony stark with a dagger, then draw some prostitutes as models for madonna
Thanks, Tim.
9:12 - I do believe thats the extension number you need to dial if you wish to speak to the Beast from the Nile.
I can already see the ensuing confusion at 3:21. 😀 "Here, use my phone-- $h*t! That's my calculator."
Damn I’m late again but still remember To like Tim’s videos he doesn’t get half what he deserves!
Good to hear
Congratulatims
Cool
good vid
He’s got a better headset than me
Hello!
The collosas
Tim signaling his Mason buddies at 8:52?
What a invensions love from India😊😊😀
I am early for once to see videos in this channel :D
if you put a sliding puzzle in your video game i do not play your video game
I hate them that much too haha

S S T S T?
With that thumbnail we know tim is 66% more powerful then "The Beast"
Maths are hard
I can agree
666
666 the number of the beast

Tim broke wind
خیلی خیلی عالی بود
Deja vu..
Tim, you could make your titles more viral, if you say what is the category of the things you are showing, and showing in the thumbnail the most visual object, or the more curious, or the rarest.
And showing the object that you showed in the thumbnail, at the end or the beginnig of the video
Titles could be like, Unique collection of calculators, or, A Calculator collection as you never sen before, all of this true.
i dont think he wants to be the most popular man on the world i think he just wants to show his toy collection to everyone
Yeah, but, he could make more money, buy more toys, if he wants to, show to more people his lovely collection, and spread the passion for collections all over the world, making a community for himself and for everybody.
