Gonnella (1794-1867) published the 'Descrizione di due Macchine Arithmetiche per l'addizione'. In this work, he describes a coplanar adding machine with tooth lock washers and a second adding machine with key input... Gonnella, a natural scientist who obtained his doctorate in Pisa, belonged to a Florentine committee in 1818 that - at the request of Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany - was to write the new land register of Tuscany. Between 1829 and 1850, Gonnella taught Pure Mathematics and Mechanics at the 'Accademia di Belle Arti' in Florence, afterwards until 1854 he taught Pure Mathematics. In 1851, he presented his planimeter at the World Fair in London and received a medal, first class for it" (Arithmeum). - Stellenweise etwas stockfleckig. Einband am Rand etwas nachgedunkelt.
