DescriptionThis SR-52 electronic slide-rule calculator by Texas Instruments operates on batteries or on an adaptor. It has old-fashioned red read out. It is black plastic with lots of orange, brown, and tan keys. Two adaptors are with it, but they are not the same watt/voltage. There is a small black case and some plastic blank "cards" that would fit the case slots. Under the styrofoam case is a pad labeled: "SR 52 -User Instructions" with blank forms for steps and results and letters and a registration card (to send to Dallas). One letter discusses inserting the magnetic cards to read. There is no memory key. The magnetic cards are for programming the calculator.
