Charles Babbage's Difference Engine No. 2

Picture taken at the "Maker Faire 2008" (San Mateo, CA) - a collection of creative, weird, and sometimes useless (but always interesting) inventions, exhibits and art performances. Check out the other pictures in this set.

From http://makerfaire.com/pub/e/1135:

The Computer History Museum will provide Maker Faire attendees with a preview to its much-anticipated exhibit opening in May, Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine No. 2. The Mountain View-based Museum is where computing history lives and is home to one of the largest international collections of computing artifacts in the world.
