A portion of the Analytical Engine of the incomplete mechanical computer at time of inventor Charles Babbage's passing in October 1871.
Held at Science Museum of London (its photo--CC). Contained a store for numbers (or memory) and a mill (which corresponds to what we think of as the CPU). It was 15 ft tall & weighed what a small locomotive does.
