- Another book concerning Babbage is Michael Lindgren's "Glory and
- Failure". It tells you all you would want to know about the difference
- engine #1 and #2 as well as the Scheutz machine. One of the latter was
- found by the author and reconstructed to work again. It's now at the
- Swedish technical museum as is Mr. Lindgren.
