    This was the machine to count down registers at the end of every retail shift. Great little things. Training someone new on it was always a process though. A lot of people struggled with the concept of entering the sign/operation after the number.

    Example 10+2-5 = 7 is entered into the machine as 10 [+] 2 [+] 5 [-] [* or T]. Of course most people treated it like a regular calculator and hit 10 [+] 2 [-] 5 and then scratched their heads to find the equals.
