Each bead represents one unit (e.g. 74 can be represented by shifting all beads on 7 wires and 4 beads on the 8th wire, so numbers up to 100 may be represented). In the bead frame shown, the gap between the 5th and 6th wire, corresponding to the color change between the 5th and the 6th bead on each wire, suggests the latter use.
Friden made a calculator that also provided square roots, basically by doing division, but with added mechanism that automatically incremented the number in the keyboard in a systematic fashion. The last of the mechanical calculators were likely to have short-cut multiplication, and some ten-key, serial-entry types had decimal-point keys.
The stepped reckoner or Leibniz calculator was a mechanical calculator invented by the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (started in 1673, when he presented a wooden model to the Royal Society of London [2] and completed in 1694). [1]
However, he stated specifically in the penultimate sentence of section 32 on page 23, the two beads in the bottom slot each have a value of 1 / 72. This would allow this slot to represent only 1 / 72 (i.e. 1 / 6 × 1 / 12 with one bead) or 1 / 36 (i.e. 2 / 6 × 1 / 12 = 1 / 3 × 1 / 12 with two beads) of an uncia respectively.

Sumlock-Anita Electronics also assembled in Britain some of the Rockwell hand-held calculators, including Rockwell models 8R, 10R, 18R, 20R, 21R, 30R, 31R. The "Panaplex" is a gas-discharge display, using 7 segments to represent each number, within a thin glass "sandwich". The numerals glow amber. This list of calculator models may not be complete.

Although it was still too bulky to easily fit in a pocket, [1] it was an important step toward the development of the pocket calculator. [2] Ad showing the calculator's original price. The EL-8's original price in Japan was 84,800 Japanese yen. [3] The retail price in 1971 was US$ 345 (equivalent to US$ 2,308 in 2021). [1] [7]
