The Toshiba TOSCAL BC-1412 is a follow-on machine to Toshiba's second
electronic calculator, the amazing
BC-1411, utilizing
a more more dense packaging scheme with low-profile vertically mounted
diode-resistor logic gate daughter boards attached to the main logic
boards. The BC-1412 uses Toshiba's
unique refreshed capacitor register memory system used in the BC-1411, but
rather radically reduced it in size. The result was a much smaller and lighter
calculator that had all of the features of the BC-1411 with only difference
being is that the BC-1412 uses a fixed decimal point location versus the
automatic decimal point locating in the BC-1411.
