I found it fascinating to see this beggar on the street in Castries, the capital of St. Lucia, using a calculator. It got me thinking as to what he was doing.
For this week's MM theme, I again, thought of an old friend who's been with me for decades. We spent a lot of nights solving endless problems together and she always got me through each one of them. Things have changed a lot since but I decided to keep her all these years. I'm sure someone out there might still have a slide rule hiding somewhere.

THEME: NUMBERS AND LETTERS
SUBJECT: A LOYAL CALCULATOR
(less than 2" horizontally)
Made circa 1905, this device was an early precursor to the modern calculator, but harder to use! The metal prongs below the numbers at the bottom had to be "typed" similar to a typewriter key to get the machine to work. MM theme "Anachronism"
Taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Mechanical workings"
The inner workings of a mechanical calculator. Specifically this is a pinwheel mechanism from a Multo calculator, I think dating from the 1950s.

Original Odhner Moder 127 with TI-30XllB hand held scientific calculator and K&E 4081-3 LogLog Duplex DeciTrig Slide Rule
Here is one of my potential Macro Monday captures taken today for the theme this week that is "Back in the Day".
This was my grandfather's calculator he used for work and for doing taxes. Can add, subtract and multiply.
Captured here at f/32, ISO 100 for 30 seconds.
The numbers I entered into the mechanical machine is the 'date' around when these were made.
My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "Pouch", on 14 Sep 2020. It's a well-used HP financial calculator, a relic from my pre-retirement past.
The Lightning Calculator Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Manufactured 1900-1925. (For a description: collection.maas.museum/object/372791)
This model belonged to and was well used by my grandfather. Stylus may not be original but has been with the machine since at least the late 1940s. Still works perfectly.

an infinite field full of cabbage
as far as my eye could see, a field of green.
I found this field in Broek op Langedijk (West - Friesland) Noord-Holland
a warm memorie of a nice summer.
Thanks for the texture my friend: lenabem-anna

GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS
THEME: BACK IN THE DAY
I have no idea why I'm still hanging on to this calculator, my very first one. I know it has helped me a lot in passing exams that I could have not done with a slide rule!
The calculator that got me through engineering school some 40 years ago. Just like back then, it gives the right answer most of the time.
