Description:

Here you will find a wealth of data I have collected over the years on general calculators, HPs calculators, TIs calculators, and on my all time favorite mechanical calculator, the CURTA. I recent years I have become an expert with the amazing Curta calculator. And it's mechanical not electronic! But it represents a final ultimate, state-of-the-art achievement in the mechanical world before the electronic calculator revolution took over and over night obsoleted all mechanical machines. Interestingly the Curta held on for many years because it was so popular among road rallyest and surveyors. I do collect and study the manufacturing variations of the two models of the Curta calculator. My two exploded view Curta posters are wildly popular around the world and have been featured in museum displays and displayed in the halls and offices of NASA. My favorite electronic calculators are HPs but I don't plan on this page even starting to compete with "The Museum"! HP introduced the 1st scientific calculator (HP-35) then introduced the first business calculator (HP-80). To this day the all time most popular calculator is the HP-12 Business calculator. I still like to gripe about why HP abandoned the scientific calculator (HP-11, HP-15) in this wonderfully convenient format. My Calculators of HP poster is another popular poster I created. It even serves as a reference in the support offices of HP. Finally my newest posters of the History of the Telephone and Modern US Currency are the latest additions to my poster line up. Yes, a slight deviation from calculators but I always remembered touring the phone company as a child and receiving a poster that showed the history of the telephone. My Telephone poster is an updated tribute to this now 45 year old poster. I also find the art and design that is in the US currency amazing. My Modern US Currency poster arranges all the major version of all the denominations. Showing both the front and back side of each bill so you can study and appreciate the art and changes that have happened to the US currency over the past 100 years or so. I also hope this poster can serve as a teaching aid for school teachers. Look around, enjoy yourself, and marvel over how calculators (both steel and silicon) have changed our world. -Rick Furr- NOW SIX POSTERS ARE FOR SALE!!!

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE Click Here Here's an article that was in the newspaper about my calculator collection. In the photo the newspaper photographer wanted me to be surrounded by some of my calculators. So we arranged a ping-pong table in the background and a card table in the foreground. Then we placed two wide boards on either side so there was a small hole in the center. Next we placed all the calculators we could fit on the tables and then I squoze into the center for the photo shoot. It made for a cool shot but sadly the photographer would not give me the original.
