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

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,
