Re:ReCurta: Our goal is to build the first Curta calculator ... by userbinator on Sunday December 31, 2017 @12:19AM (#16039473)
The "original Curta Type I engineering diagrams" can be found here: http://www.vcalc.net/curta_1_engineering_drawings.zip (warning: large file)

Everything produced as part of this project is being released into the public domain. Everyone should be able to inspect, visualize, or even build their own Curta calculator; it shouldn't be fated to forever be an expensive relic on eBay.

Interesting. I wonder if the Chinese might take off with the plans and start making clones, the same way you can now find surprisingly good mechanical watches on AliExpress.
