Texas Instruments TI-36X SOLAR
The Texas Instruments TI-36X SOLAR is a scientific calculator with 10 digits precision and algebraic logic. It has 40 keys, and an LCD (liquid crystal) display. The power source is Solar. The calculator was manufactured in Italy.
A scientific model with one of the most complicated keyboard layouts ever seen. This is partly because many of the keys perform four functions, but also because the size of the lettering adds to the crowded appearance.
A sample of this calculator is held in the calculator.org collection.
