[Leica] IMGs: Some shots of the Babbage Difference Engine

[Douglas Barry]

Got the first email, Herb.

That Difference engine is something else. As a result, I just watched the 24 
minute video from your museum of it being demonstrated - thanks to Youtube. 
Babbage produced astonishing bit of thinking to someone who has now 
forgotten most of his school maths, and now thinks polynomial equations is 
something to do with parrot names....:-)
