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, Jaakko Suominen, professor of digital culture, University of Turku, Finland http://www.tuug.fi/~jaakko/
