Cams act as the mechanical memory of the machine. Jacques de Vaucanson realized that by placing hundreds of tiny, precisely shaped cams onto a single rotating cylinder , he could create a complex mechanical code.

The Writer Automaton (1770s)… one of the earliest examples of a programmable machine. Built from 6,000+ custom metal parts and powered by ~40 internal cams.

Long shot, but does anyone here have access to Leonard’s Lost Robot books? I’ve been trying to find them in libraries with no luck.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to understand what’s considered standard equity compensation for a board director in an early-stage startup.

Context: pre-seed / seed stage company. The director would be non-executive and mainly involved in governance and strategic input (not operational work).

I was thinking something like ~0.1% equity with a 2-year vesting schedule, but I’m not sure if that’s aligned with market norms or if it’s too low/high.

Would really appreciate any benchmarks or experiences from founders/investors.

Thanks!
