Your post brings back the memory of my overwhelming joy at seeing (and
buying) my first trig calculator. It was about 1961 (or so??) and the
calculator was a sears digimatic D8 M and sold for $99.99. I was a fire
control guy and surveyor in the Artillery and at that time we had to do
all the calculations with 6 or 10 figure log tables (or the 100 lb brass
monster called the Double Bank Brunswega) I could not begin to imagine
how you could cram all of the trig data in the log tables into it.
Anyway, I was impressed! A few years later someone stole it from my desk
at work and I WAS pissed but by then you could buy them for $17.00.
