Thomas Arithmometer (1820)

The first mass-produced calculator, invented by Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar.

Uses Leibniz wheels (stepped drums) where each digit has a cylinder with 9 teeth of increasing length.

Set the input digits, choose an operation, and pull the crank to compute. The revolution counter tracks repeated additions for multiplication.
