To re-zero a 10,000-wheel machine, if one existed, the operator would have to set every wheel to its maximum and then add a 1 to the "unit" wheel. The carry would turn every input wheel one by one in a very rapid Domino effect fashion and all the display registers would be reset. The three phases of a carry transfer operation
The comptometer is the direct descendant of the key-driven machine of Thomas Hill [1] patented in the United States in 1857 and of the Pascaline invented by Blaise Pascal in France in 1642. By just replacing the input wheels of the Pascaline by the columns of keys of Hill's machine, the comptometer was invented.
It was the first time that a calculating machine could work automatically using as input results from its previous operations. [61] It was the first calculating machine to use a printer. The development of this machine, later called "Difference Engine No. 1," stopped around 1834. [71]
Both were made in large numbers; Monroe started early in the 20th century; Friden in the 1930s. (The Marchant used a radically different and unique mechanism.) The variant mechanism worked with digits from 1 through 4 as shown in the animation; digits larger than 4 engaged a five-tooth gear as well as the teeth of the Leibniz wheel.

The input, consisting of programs ("formulae") and data, [13] [9] was to be provided to the machine via punched cards, a method being used at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom. [14] For output, the machine would have a printer, a curve plotter, and a bell. [9]
