Tsifrar-diagrammometr sample 1890

One inventions lucky, others not so much. This is not luck, but could form in a different way. The idea something was cool, because tsifrar designed to work with diagrams, actually representing a mechanical version of the Excel. No wonder his second name - diagrammometr.

Here it is, tsifrar-diagrammometr, in all its glory.




Personally reminds me of an old computer with a sharpened by plotting interface. True, if you look inside the mechanism is not found computer filling.

Look inside


I, in the absence of technical education, to describe the principle of the device is difficult, I give the floor to the expert.

The operating principle diagrammometra








Description taken from the book: EI Ignatiev In the realm of wit or math for all. Book 3. 2nd ed. Pg. 1915.

In preparing the material Ignatieff explicitly used an article from "Niva» (№ 4 of 1891). Article small, also owned by the inventor of the device - Viktor S. Kozlov - I give it also.

Author's description diagrammometra




After 1915, on tsifrare completely forgotten, as if it did not exist. About this invention is not known even to specialists in the field of the history of computing, anyway books by contemporary authors do not mention tsifrare-diagrammometre all. Dozens of links to diagrammometr issued today by search engines, first, do not contain images of the device (looks like an engraving of "Niva" - the only preserved), and secondly, do not contain even his technical descriptions, or attempts to use, mentioning about the device in the following context: co-op activist Vladimir Kozlov also invented a device diagrammometr ...

In other words, Victor S. Kozlov, known as a co-operator, but not the inventor. Well, that at least in that capacity.

Only a few (very few) works devoted to cooperative activities, Kozlov won the individual domes. The last of these books: Dvirnik VA Kharkov association of consumers. Kharkov, 2011 - it contains a short biography of the inventor.

Born in 1842 in a family of landowners in the vicinity of Poltava. He graduated from the Poltava gymnasium. He studied at the Kharkov University, both in St. Petersburg and Kazan University in Physics and Mathematics (I wonder how it is possible?). In 1861, he participated in student demonstrations, for which he was expelled from St. Petersburg to Poltava.

The following is a career military: Military School, Service commissariat. At the time of publication in the "Cornfield" Kozlov was a colonel. Parallel military service (it turns out) was an inventor and social activities in the field of cooperation is the author of several published works (including confiscated play "Shelter for extra people" - Hello, colleague, hello!).

And so, in the work and worry, the end of life: Viktor Semenovich Kozlov died in Odessa in 1920

Here are two pictures of him that I could find: youthful and more mature.



Garnier boy, is not it?

The second photo is taken from the book mentioned above, VA Dvirnika and the first lay on my site for a long time: I remember she photocopied from labor Markov VI Pioneers of the South Russian cooperation. Kharkov, 1919. Although, in old age, can make mistakes.

I finish with a quote from the letter N. Ballina (this older and more well-known comrade Kozlov in cooperation) DI Mendeleev:

«If you've seen in Paris diagrammometr VS Kozlov, the machine that is the first and crude attempt, and she has a great future, than the logical machine Jevons. It suggests the possibility of opening, seemingly random, or help contemplation graphics, different series of numbers arithmetic triangle, as the figures of the triangle can be deduced psychologically very first lines ». I>

The quotation is taken from an article Sidorovicha OS "Fundator Ukrainian cooperation" (magazine "ZMICT" a year and I can not specify the number in the file downloaded from the Internet, they are not specified).

Razrazi thunder, do not understand what numbers arithmetic triangle and how these figures can be deduced psychologically, but the appearance tsifrarya-diagrammometra I like. He inspires.
