Zuse Z1-Z2, Z4 type memory cell demonstration set
thingiverse
This is my interpretation of how a single bit of memory operates in the Zuse Z1 and Z2 programmable calculators, as well as later in the Z4 computer. Most information comes from pages 218-221 in the book described below. The original Z1 was designed and built between 1936 and 1941. The replica/redesign was constructed by Konrad Zuse in 1989. The original parts described are simple metal strips and a pin (red, blue, yellow, and middle gray components), to which I added guides and end stops. In the actual machine, these parts will be different and integrated. This model is only intended to demonstrate the principle, not to resemble the original or replica (destroyed) or replica (Deutschen Technikmuseum, Berlin, Germany: https://sdtb.de/museum-of-technology/exhibitions/1256/).
