I'm clueless... Message #5 Posted by Frank Boehm (Germany) on 9 Mar 2010, 4:22 a.m., in response to message #4 by randy bozarth
I haven't seen a floor-standing model yet. Are you sure it wasn't just mounted on a cabinet? The first electronic calculators (Anita, IME, Canola, Sharp) were "desktop-sized". One exception were WANG-calculators, those used a floor-standing electronics unit and several remote displays/keyboards (which is different from your image). All larger calculators did use a vertical display, only about 1969, a somewhat more "horizontal" (like 45o angle) type was introduced for "portable" desktop calculators. Example:Walther ETR 1
