... It is generally accepted that the mechanism, widely known as the Antikythera mechanism, was made in Rhodes at the height of the Roman Republic, as the island was known as the source of interesting mechanical automata. You can tell just by looking at it that the device is part of a larger object, and it is also obvious that there are geared wheels and other rotational elements within it. The device undoubtedly is an early computer and could be seen as the first planetarium. ...

... The system is based on two straight lines ("axes"), perpendicular to each other, each of them marked with the distances from the point where they meet ("origin")--distances to the right of the origin and above it, the origin being taken as positive and on the other sides as negative (see drawing below). ... One system (" polar coordinates ") uses the length r of the line OP from the origin to P (i. e. the distance of P distance to the origin) and the angle that line makes with the x-axis. ...
