Ball and disk integrators are beautiful and the SMithsonian has a
gorgeous Henrici Harmonic ANalyzer (19th centruy FFT box) on
display with several of them working in parallel.

But you probably have a B&D integrator on your desktop right now.
The second most valuable "mouse" to come out of California.
Open it up; you'll see two disks bearing on the ball, driving
opto-encoders most likely.  Same good old principle.

[BTW, California's 1st most valuable mouse was created by Walt D.].
