For some reason there has been left quite a bit stuff laying around at this building which i find bit odd. Anyways this room was used for storing stuff, all that remains now are empty shelves and graffiti. For more check 80's office building album.
Some believe Stonehenge to be an ancient eclipse calculator. The number of blue stones and Aubrey holes are a clue

The stones may also represent scale models of mother earth and the moon

No, they don't make singles like this anymore!
Cassette single of "Pocket Calculator" by Kraftwerk released 1981. The cardboard box has a flip lid just like a cigarette box. This was found in an old suit case containing cassettes belonging to Flickr Widow.
The mechanical calculator was manufactured and sold from 1948 until 1970. Electronical calculators and computers have put an end to mechanical calculators in the 1970s.

Sharp ELSI MATE EL-862
This calculator was given to me by my father when I was 6 years old (1986).
My younger sister also recieved one at the time. I looked after it and it is still working to this day.

Vintage calculator, the Superlectron model 8. This calculator is from 1974, and in perfect working condition. It runs (normally) on a 9 volt battery.
The We're Here! gang is pulling our our calculators today. This one is built in to an old pocketbook of mine that had lots of spaces for credit cards, and even a place for your cheques to live. Of course we hardly use cheques any more. It's strange to look at an item that you used to use every day, a few short years ago, and realize that it's very much outdated.

This is a exposure calculator and exposure meter.
The meter no longer works, but is a nice example as a display pice for the collection.
HP 9810 Calculator (1974) This is really god old US craftsmanship. Everything made of steel and the CPU build up on 4 boards full of High Speed Schottky TTL ICs
This is a series 5 Burroughs Calculator with the case removed. It's essentially a mechanical adding machine: the numbered wheels rotate as numbers are added up. It is also capable of subtracting and multiplying, but doing so is cumbersome and time consuming. Nonetheless, it's a lot of fun to add stuff up with it.

I tried to resurrect it this afternoon. The battery is not the only problem, ... Next try is to open it. This was my first programmable calculator, bought around 1982.
This was in an exhibit of older technology at the Albuquerque Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My mother had the one on the left -- I was surprised when I saw it sitting under glass in a museum. Using a stylus, one could add, subtract and multiply. I used to love fiddling with it when I was in grade school. Amazing to see how far we have come since.
