notes: label: Description
content: In this large open arrangement of steel shafts, one shaft is set perpendicular to another. This was the carriage for the input table. The graph of a function to be entered into the machine was placed on an input table. Each carriage could be moved so that the pointer on it followed the curve. It was connected to a shaft which transported the pointer's motion to the appropriate part of the machine.
