Never have seen a mechanical critter in action.
I remember that the statistics lab had about 30 big mechanical calculators the size of typewriters. It was fun to go down the line and punch in 30! or whatever was the max that they could do. Nothing like a room full of the big machines clattering away for 5-10 minutes to entertain a teenage boy. The profs, not so much. :)
