#84864 - Difference engine
Responding to: ???'s previous message
for further interest.

The difference engine was built using modern techniques, but with Babbage's stated tolerances, by the London Science museum in the arly 1990's. The former head of research at Microsoft, Nathan Myhrvold then paid for the printer to be built.
