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!

I would like to negotiate with you privately.
I started a conversation for us to talk.
The Curta calculator has been sold.
Thanks for the comments.
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.
