Here is a picture of the binary control house numbers are displayed in binary as rotating and not rotating gear assemblies. You select the inputs in the top right (currently set to zero). You then select the function and pull the equals leaver. The result will then be showed on the answer line. The red gear assembly is to indicate a positive or negative number (rotating for negative).

The Almighty Dwarven Calculator

What can you do with 75,368 mechanisms?
I have made a calculator. It can add, subtract, divide and multiply. It can take inputs of up to 999 and give answers of up to 999999 and 3 decimal places.

How to use

The in control house (shown above calculating 7x191) there 6 groups of leavers each group corresponds to an input number, and each leaver within a group corresponds to a number (in the same pattern as on a cell phone). Once the leavers that represent the desired numbers have been pulled (only one leaver per group or things will go wrong).

Then select the desired function (+ * - /) by pulling the indicated leaver. The selected function will be displayed.

Then select pull the equals leaver, go and make a cup of tea, some soup perhaps compose a sonnet (it takes a long time even for simple equations).

Your answer will then be displayed in glorious digital numbers.
