Archimedes (1906)

Martin (Dtsch), pages 191 - 194 & 389 - 392

"This is a stepped drum machine similar to that described in the introduction. Both models A and B have the well-known slide-setting mechanism. Model A did not have tens-carry in the revolution; model B, however, was the first stepped drum machine to incorporate this feature. The two models do not differ materially from the remaining Glashütter products with regard to size and weight."

"Manufacturer: originally Fischer & Poethig of Glashütte, and since 1912 Glashütter Rechenmaschinenfabrik Reinhold Pöthig of Glashütte, Saxony."

The development of the Archimedes company and their calculator models are described by Martin Reese in his book "Neue Blicke auf alte Maschinen" (page 19 ff.)
