Electro-mechanical computers are computing devices that use a combination of electrical and mechanical components to perform calculations and process data. They emerged in the early to mid-20th century, notably before the advent of fully electronic computers. These devices utilized mechanical parts — such as gears, levers, and rotating shafts — to carry out computations, while employing electrical circuits for control and signal processing.
