I saw a program on this and I forgot the name, I just rediscovered it and found this little tidbit. Hope someone in Bozeman finds this interesting and pursues it.
The device is displayed in the Bronze Collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, accompanied by a reconstruction made and offered to the museum by Derek de Solla Price. Other reconstructions are on display at the American Computer Museum in Bozeman, Montana and the Children's Museum of Manhattan in New York.
