     182             Last but not least a mechanical analog computer that was used up to
     183             the 1970s for scientific calculations without hand and desk calculators.
     184             <br/>The picture above displays a 1.8m long demo slide rule
     185             made of wood (1950s) that was used in schools for students since the
     186             10th grade. Compared to hand calculators, these analog computers
     187             also had some advantages: Students could not give absurd computing
     188             precisions, these "computers" were cheap and quite fast. The big
     189             disadvantage was that adding and subtracting was not possible at all.
     190             <br/>To get higher precisions in the 1920s, there was this
     191             "Cylindrical slide rule". This 60cm NESTLER device can be compared
     192             to an ordinary slide rule measuring 12.50m.

    152       <p class="bildtext">
    153         The BULL GAMMA 3 was build since 1952. It could be connected to several
    154         punchcard devices, for example to the Tabulating Machine BS, to the
    155         card copier PRD and to the ULP puncher.
    156         <br/>Our GAMMA 3 installation is fully developed and features seven
    157         delay line memory units each with a capacity of 12 decimal digits. To
    158         extend the built-in memory, there were special so-called "storage cabinets"
    159         that contained additional 24 storage units, each with a capacity
    160         of 12 decimal numbers.
    161         <br/>Summing up, the calculator features almost 400 electron tubes.
    162         Thyratrons were used to connect this fast calculator to the slow
    163         punchcard auxillary devices. A thyratron tube is capable of saving
    164         temporary digital states.

    195         panel, a punchcard reader/puncher unit and a barrel printer.
    196         The RAM consists of a 1kb core memory which could be
    197         extended up to 4kb capacity. There are 59 different
    198         opcodes to program the CPU.
    199         <br/>The cycle time from the core memory is 7 micro
    200         seconds. The calculator is capable of reading and
    201         punching 300 cards per minute. Five punchcards per
    202         second, that is an amazing speed &ndash;
    203         therefore the punching unit is generously built. The
    204         printer can only print up to 300 lines per minute. Compared
    205         to our <a href="univac9400.shtm">Univac 9400</a> this

     34       <br/>By assembling these elements on an intelligent way, you can
     35       build a simple mechanical machine which is especially impressive
     36       for today's people. Here at the technikum29, we will show you how
     37       this device works, we will explain the basic functionality and
     38       play challenging compositions. While having covers removed, you can
     39       even see the fascinating mechanics working.

     54     <p>The technikum29 also features a movie projector from 1951 (there are
     55        more and even older projectors from the 1930s that are stored in the
     56        archive for lack of space).</p>
     57     <p>
     58        Movie projectors have always been very complex devices. At that time,
     59        the bright picture projection was archived with an arc light which was
     60        generated between two carbon pencils. The waste heat was piped via a
     61        chimney pipe! <!-- stupid mode... -->
     62        Since the pencils got shorter and shorter while the movie went on, they
     63        had to be moved continously closer together for producing a constant
     64        luminosity. Otherwise the light goes out.
     65        <br/>We will repair this device to show you an original german
     66        newsreel from the 1960s ("FOX T&Ouml;NENDE WOCHENSCHAU").
