Difference Engine produced

What if Charles Babbage's Difference Engine was produced in the Victorian era? How would it affect industrial production in Britain and beyond? How would the Victorians possibly expand on the design?

For more information, here is its Wiki, entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_Engine

This is an interesting question, I posted this very subject here a while back but it is good to see the topic re-emerge.

Take a look and see what you think, Bill Cameron had some interesting things to say.
