Due to some of the love I was sent about a idea I decided to write a little chapter story about it... hope you monkeys enjoy it.
Footsteps falling like the mercy of a summers rain, and Dr. Keeton had finally entered his private suite. He always felt more at home on a aether ship, the quiet of the void between planets was his to live in. The shuttle here was no help, the 2 hour trip turned 2 days. "Damn Baltic parts" was all he would say to fellow traveler. That was no longer a concern, only the 2 week trip to the red planet and his University lecture.
It had happened, he had seen it but a few years ago. For almost 2 decades the Pneumatic analytical engine (P.a.e.) had been the tool and toy of Nobility, Governments, and the Educated. It was the unseen partner of the working man. Now they wanted to know and use it. It was in 15% of all homes, in 52% of all businesses both common and complex. They wanted to know! He was more then happy to teach.
"What most know" His note began " Is the name of Charles Babbage, Who's ideas, theory's, and inventions are credited with creating this modern machine. What most fail to account for is its true creator, M. P. Craft. It was he who realized the mistake of Babbage." at this point Dr. Keeton had to pause and search his papers for the quote he needed. "the gears and springs of Babbage while powerful are slow and imprecise a monster. Mother nature has built a better beast in the vary air around us. only two years after Babbage's 1822 paper Craft had built a faster version of the Difference Engine. One using a Pneumatic cylinder as a binary switch. At this point Babbage conceded the point and joined Craft, only to over shadow and steal credit. The fall of 1829 would bring the building of a machine known as the Craft room. This was the first analytical engine, and while slow and weak by today's standards it was indeed a marvel. Craft and Babbage quickly put it to use in creating its successes. Power by a massive steam engine housed it an adjacent building, it ran formula for 5 years. The craft room 2, as it was so named, then ran the same function. Two and half years later not only did there come a newer faster analtytical engine, but one the size of a 6.096 X 6.096 X 2.4384 meter Room. Considering the first craft rooms sat in a 24.384 square meter building, one could understand the feet accomplished. not only that but the system started at 20 KSC (kilograms per square centimeter. pressure) to a amazing 1 KSC. 1 year 9 months and the system was faster and smaller then ever.
In 1860 we see what can be regarded as the identifiably first P.A.E. While it stood at 304.8 centimeters in hight and measured 91.44 x 152.4 centimeters. It was a still a more modern machine." at this point had to pause. the knocking of his door had removed him from the intellectual space in mind was occupying. He walk to the door rubbing his eye out of stress. He was greeted by a ships steward. "so very sorry to disrupt you sir, the captain would like a word"....
if you all like I can finish out the "History" lesson.
