In the latter part of 1972, the Computer Design Corporation of Los Angeles, California, also known as Compucorp, began the introduction of a series of highly functional, portable, electronic, scientific calculators that were small enough to be carried around and were battery operated. At least ten different models were made, with different types of functions but using the same basic technology and components.
