Wacky vintage Japanese Analog Calculator

Where: Salvation Army
Paid, about $1

Division was implemented on later models
Interesting calculator for the late 1960's made in Japan.  Use the brass stylus to drag down the toothed rails and count away.  Like an abacus, with numbers. Sure, adding is a cinch, good luck doing multiplication or any type of division on this.

  1. There was an algorithm to do multiplication and division that came with the instruction manual for these types of calculators.

    No luck needed :P
