introduced a bit lataer (early 1969) than these two earlier machines.
14-digit capacity using individual seven-segment gas-discharge display
tubes, with first usage of "half-sized" zeroes for leading zero display.

settings. Utilizes
Fairchild small-scale DTL integrated circuits, along with early Fairchild
MOS shift register ICs for working register storage. This machine was
manufactured by Nippon Calculating Machine Co. (Busicom), and sold under OEM
