So these are result register quick setting dials on a very old type I? I can imagine that it seemed like a good idea until someone tries to use them mid calculation, on purpose or accidentally as they turn the crank. I can imagine these being installed as a proof of concept, like the silencing springs, until it became obvious that the safety features of the Curta did not need loopholes. | ||
