Dear all,

For two early advertisements of "Steel Brains" from Finland, see the 
following urls:

http://users.utu.fi/jaasuo/tietokoneen-takapuoli/brunsviga1.gif
http://users.utu.fi/jaasuo/tietokoneen-takapuoli/brunsviga2.gif

Both of them are advertisements of Brunsviga calculators. The first one, 
from the year 1909 advertises in Swedish, for example: "Calculator! Why 
not to use a Brain of Steel, who never be tired."

All the best,
