Not a tremendous amount is known about this machine, but it definitely
used Parametron logic, and was produced in some volume. The company
that made it, Oi Electric, in Japan, is still in business, and has one
of the machines on display in their office. This calculator was
Oi Electric's only foray into the calculator marketplace.
