Calculator, machine for automatically performing arithmetical operations and
certain mathematical functions. Modern calculators are descendants of a digital
arithmetic machine devised by Blaise Pascal in 1642. Later in the 17th century,
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz created a more-advanced machine, and, especially in the
late 19th century, inventors produced calculating machines that were smaller and
smaller and less and less laborious to use. In the early decades of the 20th century,
desktop adding machines and other calculating devices were developed. Some were key-driven,
others required a rotating drum to enter sums punched into a keyboard, and later the drum was spun by electric motor.
