3) A few years bak I rescued some bits of lab
equipment (including a
rackmount punch/reader that used the same mechanics as a flexowriter..).
Amongst the bits was a numeric-only printer made by 'Victor Comptometer'.
It was one of their adding machines with solenoids in place of the keys,
amazingly. Never seen anything else like it.
Could it add (i.e., accumulate a total)?
That would be kind of neat to have on a printer, though it might make printing
spreadsheets rather interesting. :)
