Here is a nice article about the Curta from the Jan 2004 Scientific American, starts on page 92 of the magazine which is page 80 of the PDF.

Thanks for posting that link to Stoll's article.
A portion of that article was in "Backsights", published
by the Surveyors Historical Society, Fall 2005, vol.24, No. 2.

WOW...flashback...

Back in the 70s I think I ground enough data through a Curta to create a pile of pepper that would rival the Great Pyramid!

And I didn't have to "recharge/replace" the batteries even once (OKAY, maybe open another beer or two).

My pepper pile was probably a little smaller than yours, but it would make you sneeze!

Hi Grant

I realise this is a very old post, but do you possibly still have a Curta Calculator for sale?

They are amazingly expensive*: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/curta-calculator

We spent many hours spent in the outback with a "Book of Peters"... they are magical little machines.

*I am waiting for one that was used by my late cousin, but not holding my breath.
