I had a someone come into the office from one of our suppliers this morning. Whilst she was there she saw a printing calculator in a display cabinet and really couldn't understand what it was.
I remember seeing and using them back in the 1980s. I'm really getting too old!

@X31Andy In the early 1970s, as a child, I helped my Mum in her shop. She used a mechanical printing calculator to tot up the shop's takings at the end of each day. It was an Olivetti Prima 20. https://public.beuth-hochschule.de/~hamann/olivetti/o-add/index2.html
