Official Digital Calculator of the Zlotnian Space Program

a flat rectangular plastic card with four large round circles arranged in an arc and a semicircular cutout in the left edge. It's clearly designed to engage with the fingers and thumb of the left hand. There is a small round hole for a knotted string in the top left corner, marked "Memory". The larger holes, from top to bottom, are numbered 1, 3, 5 (thumb cutout), 2 and 4. All of the text is written in a delightfully retro-futuristic font (likely Data70) invoking MICR computer text. Other texts are "The Zlotnian Calculator™" and "© Fingerbrain Co. Seattle, WA 98103 U.S.A."

Since everyone seems to be all about space programs, here's a very silly joke device from 50 years back: The Zlotnian Calculator.

While it was a joke, it was made by a very serious surveying instrument company, the Slope Indicator Company of Seattle, WA.
