Description: Vintage MBC Pocket Adding Machine in a Vinyl Case - Collectible Calculator Works the same way that an abacus does, but is much easier to use and read the result. To add, place the stylus next it the number on the left of each column and slide it to the bottom. If it will not go all of the way to the bottom, slide it to the top & over to the left and down; this enables the carry to the next decimal position. Repeat for each number to be added. To subtract use the numbers to the right and move up. If it will not go all of the way, go down and to the left and up. It will also multiply and divide. Before pocket calculators this enabled a person to do simple arithmetic calculations rapidly. Please see text and pictures for a complete description.
