Description
This is a calculator with a slim and metallic design that was to be common right up to the mid 1980s. The blue and silver theme works well. The original case is a wallet style cover with the calculator sitting on the left held by a PVC band and tray. It is made from black (outside) and silver (inside) soft plastic with “Canon Palmtronic” silver printed on the front and back. The logic is OK with good recovery but is let down by negative square roots. Interesting to see (below) that this uses the same IC as the LD-8Rs but the square root function switched on and the memory switched off.
