Curta mechanical calculator

Two decades ago, I worked in the University of New Mexico Library, and I spent more than eighty percent of my time typing various labels on a little daisy-wheel Brother. The link in the above post brought that rushing back to my mind. I moved to Florida in 1989, and brought a bulky, expensive-cartridge bearing Selectric with me. I used to tell people I would give it up for a computer NEVER! Silly me.

I would totally use a mechanical calculator, though.
