19th Century Calculator

This seems to be a Liebniz machine that was used for calculating in the 19th century. Not at all sure what it was doing in Caserta palace ...it's called an arithrometer. This one was built by Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar and was evidently used at the castle for business. Can understand the need for a calculator considering the size of this place.
