The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles behind these innovations, exploring the significant contributions of various inventors in making calculation more efficient. The opening of the book sets the stage for this historical account by discussing the general disdain for manual calculation throughout history and how mechanization evolved as a response to this dislike. Turck emphasizes the scarcity of cohesive literature on the subject, presenting his work as a valuable resource for those interested in the true history and mechanics of calculating machines. He outlines the intention to simplify complex mechanical details while providing clear descriptions of various machines and their functionalities as the narrative unfolds.
