Are you sure any of the Anita calculators used dekatrons? I encountered an early model once, and it had nixies. Actually very good machines for desktop use, even today.

Difficult to see how a calculator could use dekatrons as they don't provide any output for individual digits, only for sequential tens. Thus you could only add (or maybe subract using 9's complement?) but not multiply or divide. --Anteaus (talk) 12:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
