Everything about Location arithmetic
One of three devices to aid arithmetic calculation described by John Napier in a treatise
Location arithmetic is the additive (non-positional) binary numeral systems, which John Napier explored as a computation technique in his treatise Rabdology (1617), both symbolically and on a chessboard-like grid. Wikipedia →
