This is the "First " computer


http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT2...0&jtp=1#PPP1,M1

took a while to find this... tracked it down using "Variator". All these parts are close to what is in the 12" computer, If not identical.

Did you notice that they didn't get the patent issued unitl 1941, took them 7 years to get it issued. Did't stop them from making them.
Also did you notice it wasn't issued to the Wayne Pump Co. It was issued to Veeder-Root. I remember reading that Wayne invented the computer, and licensed it to VR. ??????

Veeder Root made counters before this....
It may be a collaboration.or they might be working off Veeder Root wheel patent.
It is the same inventor on variator & counter
