Birotae saeculis undevicensimo et vicensimo in Europa, praecipue Germania, excogitatae, evolutae, introductaeque sunt. Hodie omni in orbe terrarum exstant plus quam 1 000 000 000 birotarum,[2][3][4][5] qui numeri numeros autocinetorum magnopere superant, ambo in summa et per summam exemplarium fabricatarum.[6][7][8]
Minime commutatur fundamentalis birotae usitatae forma vel configuratio post 1885 fere, annum cum primum exemplar catenis utens excogitatum esset.[9] Multa autem singula meliora facta sunt, praecipue post materias modernas et designationem a computatris adiuvatam adventam, innovationes quae permultas designationes ad varia birotationis genera aptissimas siverunt.
