e/Pinwheel calculator

Information
has gloss	eng: A Pinwheel calculator was a kind of mechanical calculator popular in the 19th and 20th century using, for its calculating engine, a set of wheels that had an adjustable number of teeth. These wheels, also called pinwheels, could be set by using a side lever which could expose anywhere from 0 to 9 teeth, and therefore when coupled to a counter they could, at each rotation, add a number from 0 to 9 to the result. By linking these wheels with carry mechanisms a new kind of calculator engine was invented. Turn the wheels one way and one performs an addition, the other way a subtraction. As part of a redesign of the arithmometer , they reduced the cost and the size of a mechanical calculators on which one could easily do the four basic operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) by an order of magnitude.

Castilian
has gloss	spa: Las calculadoras de ruedas de pines (Pinwheel calculators) fueron inventadas independientemente por Frank Stephen Baldwin en Estados Unidos (1872) y Wilgott Theophil Odhner en Rusia (1874). Eran de tamaño más reducido y de menor costo que las calculadoras mecánicas, y permitían realizar fácilmente las cuatro operaciones básicas (sumar, restar, multiplicar y dividir).
