They used to use these 'comptometers' to work out high volume calculations, such as salaries and wages.

Operating one was skilled work.

It looks like a programmable loathometer!
How does, according to @Barbaria1 , a bottle of Riesling look like when the limit of two glasses has been reached?
I'll have you know that the correct operation of a loathometer is also skilled work!It looks like a programmable loathometer!
I'm not surprised - tinned, processed cheese that's neither Cheddar nor Cheshire but some dubious imitation hinting at both names, make me feel
to think of it! Cheddar has a firm texture, and poor quality stuff sold under that name can indeed be rubbery in taste and texture, Cheshire is more crumbly, and milder in taste.Reading the instructions I thought, using this thing would take at least twice as long as working it out with your brain! One of my elder relatives was a dab hand at using the Comptometer - a skilled operator at a desk big enough for the rather bulky thing was able to do calculations a lot quicker and more efficiently than the early electronic ones (like a skilled touch-typist on a mechanical typewriter versus a one-finger typist on an early computer keyboard)

According to Humphreys and Waddington, the Jewish lunar calendar allows only two plausible dates during Pontius Pilate's administration for Jesus' death, and both were a Nisan 14 as stated in the Gospel of John: Friday, April 7, 30, and April 3, 33.
