About this deal

Even if you don’t know anything about electronics, just by looking at the T1000 World Receiver’s interface, you get the idea of how it works. The 10,000 guilders were never paid out, however, because of war-related expenditures and financial difficulties of the Viennese Court under Empress Maria Theresia, the daughter of Karl VI. Nevertheless, Braun bequeathed half of his assets to his hometown. 6,000 guilders were used for charity and the construction of a hospital. What Did Anton Braun do?

This machine probably was only begun in the workshop of Braun, but after his death (he died on 20 April 1728 from an infection of the lungs) it was finished as late as in 1736 by his son and by the famous French mechanician Phillippe Vayringe (1684-1746), who was hired by the Emperor to fix the machine, kept in his collection. The machine (on its lid is engraved Braun invenit, Vayringae fecit) (Invented by Braun, manufactured by Vayringe) is now in the exposition of Deutsches Museum, Munich (see the first photo of the article and the photos below). Soon after his marriage, Braun left Vienna. He established mechanical workshops in Prague and Milan. In the following years, Braun became one of the most prominent instrument makers of his time. He was highly appreciated by the Imperial Engineer and Professor at the University of Vienna—Johann Jakob Marinoni. Braun worked as a surveyor in cadastral surveying of Milan for Marinoni between the years of 1719 to 1722. Kammeropticus et MathematicusIt consisted of a disc with various steps as well as a segment with nine cogs. When it was turned once round, it passed the setting cylinders, on each of which a certain rod pushed the corresponding step outwards, whereupon the cog-segment of the adapting segment engaged a cog-wheel of the result mechanism and thus rotated the numbered disc to the correct digit in the corresponding window.

The German mechanic, constructor and optician Anton (Antonius) Braun (see biography of Anton Braun) (1686-1728) from Möhringen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany), was appointed in 1724 as a mechanician and optician of the imperial court in Vienna, Austria. In the same 1724 he started to design a calculating machine for the purposes of the court. collection of Deutsches Museum, Munich (the world’s largest museum of science and technology), contains not only the original of Leupold-Braun-Vayringe machine , but also a very beautiful modern replica with a transparent glass lid. Anton Braun: Marriage, Children, and Personal Life Net Worth Anton Braun returned to Vienna in 1723 and in 1724 he was appointed for the position of Kammeropticus et Mathematicus at the Austrian court, due to his outstanding precision mechanical and mathematical skills. Three years later, he sat down as a candidate to be the Imperial instrument maker. He won the title against an impressive number of competitors. He presented to the Emperor his advanced calculating machine, which he constructed in 1724 and which was already in use at the imperial court. Imperial Instrument Maker Denys Moskalenko on The Ultimate Guide to Brainstorming Techniques: Unleashing the Power of Creative Idea Generation From today’s perspective, this Braun calculator may not seem like anything special, but it was, in fact, a life-changing design.While many industrial modernists have already left our world, Dieter Rams is still alive and working. There is another calculating machine of Braun, still preserved in Technischen Museum in Wien (see the upper images), which had an engraved dedication to the Kaiser Karl VI and also the self-conscious signature “Antonius Braun S.C.M. Opticus et mathematicus”, with the year of completion in 1727. There is information however, that this machine is not the original one, made by Anton Braun in 1720s, but a copy, made in 1766 by his son—Anton Braun the Younger (1708-1776), who just like his father was a skilful optician and watchmaker. You just have to look at this shaver next to any of its contemporaries to see how revolutionary its design was in 1962. Sixty years later and it still looks like it’s from the future. The ET 33 Calculator (1977) Complicated concepts showed in a simple way – this is a principle that weaves through all of Dieter Rams’ work, especially the Braun Lectron System. Speaking of college entrance exams, nothing could be worse than your calculator running out of power before you finish your test. Calculators are battery-powered, solar-powered, or a hybrid of both—and a few higher-end models are rechargeable. We recommend battery-powered calculators for most people, though simple four-function options can last for a while on the solar panel alone. How We Selected
