Mark Twain invested his money into the Paige Compositor, an automated mechanical typesetter, which had over a thousand moving parts in an era that lacked the capacity for precision molding. Babbage constructed the difference engine 2 which worked like a charm when built by students a century later, but he was defunded at the wrong time.
