Additional Information:
And you thought Texas Instruments or HP invented the calculator? This
early 20th century Pascaline style calculator made of wood and metal
was ahead of its time. This seven place antique calculator adds and
subtracts and has an automatic tens-carry feature.
This Lightning Calculator is NOT to be confused with the newer
Lightning ADDING MACHINE produced by the Lightning Adding Machine Co.,
Inc. of Los Angeles, California some 40 to 50 years later.
