"Standard Type 2"

Texet 880

The "Standard Type 2" series appears to be a later development of the "Standard Type 1". It also uses the Texas Intruments TMC0972 calculator integrated circuit of the earlier version, indicating that calculator electronics had matured and the rate of development was now very slow.
As with the "Standard Type 1", this model was one of the cheapest available and was sold under many names and was also given away as an advertising item. There appear to be a couple of varieties.
