Sort of an early version of the computer, but built with mechanical componente instead of electric/electronic ones.
Analytical Engine
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
Though Charles Babbage achieved many things. But Charles Babbage Does not achieve his all goals. Without completing his Difference Engine he went to Analytical Engine. He designed the first programmable machine , the analytical engine. Though he did not complete it fully due to lack of resources and money. But he was right in theory. After some the Analytical engine was finished by some computer scientists and Charles Babbage was credited the "Father of Computers"..
Charles Babbage invented the concept of a programmable mechanical computer known as the Analytical Engine. He conceived this invention in the early 1830s. Although Babbage was unable to complete the construction of the Analytical Engine during his lifetime, his work laid the foundation for the development of modern computers.
Lady Ada Lovelace collaborated with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine. Her notes on this engine include what is recognized as the first algorithm for a machine.

The Analytical Engine and The Difference Engine
The 'Difference Engine' - it was a mechanical calculator.
Though Charles Babbage achieved many things. But Charles Babbage Does not achieve his all goals. Without completing his Difference Engine he went to Analytical Engine. He designed the first programmable machine , the analytical engine. Though he did not complete it fully due to lack of resources and money. But he was right in theory.
