Automata from 250 years ago which writes text, draws pictures (mymodernmet.com) 9 points by bdg 4y ago ↗ HN
[–] pyinstallwoes 4y ago ↗ Basically a function of Fourier transforms applied over gears to create any representation of space. Nice. [–] bdg 4y ago ↗ One of the interesting points is that this is about 50 years before Fourier claimed FT was possible. [–] pyinstallwoes 4y ago ↗ Oh yea totally. It's just interesting to see how everything can be recorded as a series of cycles at different ratios / gearing. Really cool.
