Administrative / Biographical History

The hand-driven, keyboard-set, pinwheel calculator produced in Sweden between 1932 and 1939 was the first such type manufactured by the 'Facit' company.

The machine was used in Room 70 at Moray House (which became the Godfrey Thomson Unit for Academic Assessment).
