(FILES) This photograph shows La Pascaline, first mechanical calculating machine invented by French polymathe Blaise Pascal displayed at the Christie's auction house in Paris, on September 11, 2025. Christie's has decided to suspend the sale of the Pascaline, which was due to take place on November 19, 2025, in Paris, after the Paris Administrative Court suspended the export licence for this calculating machine built in 1642 by Blaise Pascal.
