The Way We Calculated at San Lorenzo Museum

The Way We Calculated at San Lorenzo Museum

Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, 1 – 4pm through June 15

Please join the San Lorenzo Valley Museum for an exhibition opening reception at the Belardi Gallery in Felton on Saturday, March 15, from 2-4pm. Light refreshments will be provided. Free admission.

Enjoy a plethora of artifacts and archives, many of which have never before been exhibited, and a locally constructed model of Vannevar Bush’s 1931 differential analyzer – a mechanical analog computer that solves differential equations.

These objects and archives can serve as a window into the lives of those that used them and into occupations that no longer exist such as human computers, operators, clerks, etc.

There are hands on objects for younger visitors too, with activities that promote problem solving.

Differential Analyzer

Now – June 15,  Saturday & Sunday, 2pm-3pm

The differential analyzer will be operated each Saturday and Sunday, from 2pm-3pm, or by arrangement.

Call (831) 338-8382 to schedule a demonstration.
