| Notes: |
The CHINON EXECUTRON 8M/2 is an 8-digit plain
calculator with a 9-digit fluorescent display. The leftmost
digit is used as a status indicator. Next to the basic functions it also has the square root, percentages
and the +/− key to change the
sign of a number.
It looks exactly like the mains-powered desktop calculators of old, but this one is battery powered and therefore allowed into this calculator museum. It can run on expensive C-type alcaline batteries but also on rechargeable NiCad batteries which can be charged whilst inside the calculator. Its housing is plastic, the keys have a nice touch and are good for quickly entering numbers and performing calculations. It only has a M+ key to store something in memory, press M+ again to add to what is currently in memory. Use the +/− key on a positive result before pressing M+ to subtract. Pressing the MR key will show the current memory value, press it twice to clear the memory. Multiplications and divisions are automatically repeated when repeatedly pressing the = key. This calculator was donated to the museum by my son! Thanks, Jens! |
