ANITA 1011

Anita 1011

Power supply - AC mains.

Display is 10 digits, Nixie tubes.

4-function, %, memory, uses RPN (Reverse Polish Notation).

Mainly uses transistors, but has 5 integrated circuits made by Marconi-Elliott Microelectronics using "MOST" (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Transistor) technology.

265 x 335 x 172 mm (10.4" x 13.25" x 6.75").

Introduced 1969, circuit boards on this example date stamped mid-1970.

Made in England by Sumlock Anita Electronics Ltd, distributed by Sumlock Comptometer Ltd.

 

Marconi-Elliot Microelectronics was closed down in July 1971 by GEC (the British General Electric Company) during one of the periodic industry downturns.
The whole of the British commodity semiconductor industry was to meet a similar fate.

The ANITA 1011 uses Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) where the operator is pressed after the number it is to use (eg. 6 X= gives Times by 6). After claring the display and inputting the digits of the first number, the "ENTER 1ST NUMBER" key is pressed.

Inside the 1011 from the rear, showing the 11 function boards marked eg. "Bistable", "Add/Subtract", "Divide logic", "Multiply logic".

Circuit boards with ICs

The 3 logic driver boards, from top to bottom "Inst. Counter", "Sync. Counters", "Data Strobe".

These have the 5 integrated circuits - in metal cans mounted upside down with the leads coming out radially.
