For those curious what the heck a CURTA calculator looks like,
take a look at the following item on eBay:

Yes, I still have one. I was teasing with the "California United

Sacramento, CA. Yes, I still have my old CURTA (type II).
The HALDA is a mechanical trip odometer. Once again I still
have my old metal case unit, "correction gears" and other
goodies.
