I really haven't thought much about doing this myself, but I would suggest that you start by studying Konrad Zuse's work. He developed a couple of machines that used mechanical logic and even had mechanical memory. It's really clever stuff; it's worth everyone's time to learn about it. There is a good article on his work in an issue of the Annals of the History of Computing. I don't remember what issue, but I think it's in Vol. 2. Anyone know the exact reference? Brian L.
