Description from the seller
Antique mechanical calculating machine from the Swiss brand Precisa, dating probably from the 1950s–1960s. This office instrument was used in accounting departments, businesses, banks and administrations to perform arithmetic calculations. It has a robust olive-green metal chassis, a numeric keyboard, several digit counters with red indicators, adjustment controls, and a side crank for operating its internal mechanism. A fine example of the early generations of professional mechanical calculators, before the widespread adoption of electronic calculators. Shows signs of use and age visible in the photographs. Not tested. An interesting item for collectors of calculating instruments, vintage office equipment, and the history of technology.
Very sought-after in the world of industrial design, scientific curiosities, old medical technology, laboratory optics, steampunk, and rare measuring instruments.
Ideal for a collector, industrial loft décor, cabinet of curiosities, scientific display (theodolite, microscope, sextant, compass).
