Pin Wheel Type

This 1922 machine was produced by Wilgot T. Odhner of Sweden. Odhner started production in 1874 and his invention of the pin wheel type was copied by dozens of manufacturers. This design actually brought the end of the "Arithmometer" era.

The pins were finger operated to set up the number, and the handle on the right would be rotated 360 degrees.
