Questions 31–40

The world's oldest mechanical computer:
the Antikythera mechanism

Discovery

It was part of a ship's 31, found in the sea near Antikythera, in Greece.

It was wrongly thought to be a piece of 32.

It was later found to be a mechanism that had broken into pieces.

Equipment used for analysis of the mechanism

“Dome” - produces photographs which make the 33 clearer

“BladeRunner” - produces X-rays

- originally used to identify 34 in engines

Description

The mechanism consisted of:

- 30 or more gear wheels made of 35

- models of the sun, moon and planets

- a framework made of 36

How the mechanism was used

The operator turned a 37 to move the gear wheels.

The sun, moon and planets could be moved into their correct positions for any date.

Most surprisingly, the mechanism could calculate when an 38 would occur.

It may have been used as a 39 when planning festivals.

Later use of similar technology

13th – 14th centuries: used for making 40 in Western Europe.
