Please help! I'm looking for info about the very first Electronic calculate r I ever saw. The time was early 1960'es and the "thing" was about the size of a modern Cash register - it had what was called "a full keyboard" which means its keyboard in addition to signs for add. sub. div. and mult. had n umberkeys in a 9 x9 layaout. I think ist brand name was Sumlotronic, but I have not been able to find any information about it anywhere.

I remember a very similar looking structure "made" by Friden... actually made at a loss by Philco-Ford, Santa Clara... ~$1000 "shipped" with every unit.
When John Welty and I arrived on the scene in 1968 we cancelled the program.
Then Philco-Ford corporate (in Philly), in a fit of pique, "cancelled" Santa Clara ;-)
They asked me "How'd you like to go to Blue Bell?"
I replied, "How'd you like to kiss my ass" >:-}
I returned to Motorola, Mesa. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I suppose you'll want a schem too ?

The ANITA has its own page:
Fantstic thing. It took them years to get rid of the 9x9 keyboard! That's INERTIA !
