Ternary Logic boils the brain!
Been reading "ELECTRONIC BRAINS" by Mike Hally -ISBN 1-86207-839-4
The Russian section included a few paragraphs on a ternary login machine, the SETUN, designed by Boris Malinovsky and built around 1957.
Found a few web pages on ternary logic; http://www.computer-museum.ru/english/s
and a little know about mechanical calculator from around 1840 in Devon, England; http://www.mortati.com/glusker/fowler/
