On the reception on Friday evening at the City Hall (with Mayor Ostermann) Georg Sommeregger sent a greeting to the assembled societies ANCMECA, ALCMB, SHBS, and IFHB. The photo shows from left to right: André Verney (ALCMB), François Babillot (ANCMECA), Georg Sommeregger (IFHB), Jürgen Moser (SHBS).

His impressions: Good food, great conversations, fantastic material in a well-appointed exchange plus the presentation of IFHB-member Lewin on Otto Steigers machine made the meeting in Wasselonne a very successful event.

For all members the catalog of the Brunsviga museum is available in PDF format. You can find the catalog in the member area, item "Posts". At 585 pages, it contains a wealth of information on mechanical calculators and calculating devices. Approximately 480 exhibits are described. Among that there are some rare Brunsviga models (like the Brunsviga "DMJR") and other special pieces from all eras of calculating technology.
