Galloping Gerties[edit]

Friden pocket calculator.[edit]

The statement about the inability to produce a pocket calculator is questionable. The 1234 was produced in 1973 and was a very small pocket calculator. The company failed due to quality control issues, not lack of competitive product. Sarafinadh (talk) 21:35, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
