Description

Produced during a period when calculators shifted from institutional equipment to personal tools, compact models like this became standard in offices, classrooms, and home finance. Their reliability rested on simple circuitry and low power draw, supported here by dual solar and battery inputs. The minimal housing and clearly spaced keypad reflect a utilitarian approach to design, intuitive and durable. As contemporary devices integrate multiple functions into phones and laptops, Casio’s pocket line marks a moment of single-task elegance.
