I am so confused.

Is a hand-set missing so you can talk on the phone, too ???

Running on Etsy this week.

When I first saw this I thought it was some kind of early fax machine where results of the calculation could be transmitted over the phone. But it appears to be a multiplying calculator. The dial evidently controls how a number is multiplied.

N.O.W.

Thanks so much for clarifying that for me...I appreciate your posted info and link. Had no idea Everest made things other than typewriters.
