{"id":872,"count":15,"description":"<div id=\"marque-description-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n<strong>Pierre Jaquet-Droz\u00a0<\/strong>He was a clockmaker from Neuch\u00e2tel in the late 18th century. He found a way to adapt a carillon and flute mechanisms to ordinary clocks. He invented a clock that, through the combination of two unequally expandable metals, functioned without being wound. He created an astronomical clock and an automaton that wrote legibly and performed all the movements of its fingers. He built several automata with his son Henri-Louis Jaquet-Droz and Jean-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Leschot between 1768 and 1774, including the Writer (made up of 6,000 parts), the Musician (2,500 parts), and the Draughtsman (2,000 parts). His astonishing mechanisms fascinated the world&#039;s most powerful figures: the kings and emperors of Europe, China, India, and Japan. Some consider these automata to be the earliest examples of a calculating machine (or computer). The writer has an input device for positioning tabulators, which form a programmable memory, 40 cams representing the program in read-only mode, and a pen for output. Pierre Jaquet-Droz&#039;s work predated that of Charles Babbage by several decades.\r\n\r\n<\/div>","link":"https:\/\/godechot-dev-import.flippad.eu\/en\/marques\/jaquet-droz\/","name":"Jaquet Droz","slug":"jaquet-droz","taxonomy":"pwb-brand","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/godechot-dev-import.flippad.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand\/872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/godechot-dev-import.flippad.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/godechot-dev-import.flippad.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/pwb-brand"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/godechot-dev-import.flippad.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?pwb-brand=872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
