Precision micrometer screw und Analytische Maschine: was sie gemeinsam haben

1. Schritt 1. Precision micrometer screw — ist Teil von — Micrometer. A 0.5 mm pitch.
2. Schritt 2. Micrometer — wird verwendet in — Interchangeable parts. Precise measurement ensures interchangeability.
3. Schritt 3. Interchangeable parts — funktioniert wie — Movable type. Movable type is an early case of interchangeable parts: identical letters move from line to line.
4. Schritt 4. Movable type — ist Teil von — Gutenberg printing press. Text is set from metal type.
5. Schritt 5. Gutenberg printing press — funktioniert wie — Jacquard loom. An analogy, not proven influence: both set type and a chain of punched cards are a replaceable pattern that a machine reproduces over and over.
6. Schritt 6. Jacquard loom — inspirierte — Analytische Maschine. Babbage borrowed Jacquard’s punched cards directly for entering operations and data; Ada Lovelace compared the machine to the Jacquard loom.
