Wonderful. Some very interesting and very precise historical details.
I can only be sad to imagine how something on that subject would be produced today (with so much sound and visual effects and removing the substance to be practically unwatchable). They just don't make them like that anymore, sadly.
Also good to be remembered that a lot of work of Leibniz was in some way inspired or motivated by, or related to his work on his calculating machine:

There's some math content on youtube that's great, and wouldn't have been possible 30-odd years ago. I'm mostly thinking of 3blue1brown, but I'm sure there are other examples.
