Dear
all Please
see email and images from a recent enquiry- we don’t have a Curta
Calculator in our collections or any references in any books- does anyone have
a good source or anything more to say about them that I can pass on to the
enquirer? Thanks! Clara Email
from enquirer: My son, Adam, was given a Type 1 Curta
Calculator (Serial Number 7269) by my father about 2001. He used to work as
office services manager for British Steel, River Don Works in The calculator has the instruction manual
and is complete with the container tightening ring and both top and base rubber
pads. It has a left had thread lid and is labelled with the supplier –
Automatic Business Machines (abm) Limited 15 Cromwell Road London. I was wondering if you knew anything
about these calculators? I would be interested in finding out more and
especially if you have one in your collection. Many thanks Ian Battey
