Best Answer

He never built it and it was never used.

It was designed to compute mathematics tables and create printing plates for those tables.

The Science Museum in London has built 2 of them to original 1840s tolerances to prove whether or not Babbage COULD have built them. They work very well but are somewhat fragile and not portable (moving them jar parts out of alignment causing jams and sudden changes in humidity levels rusts the mild steel column bars).
