	Although Hanimex had a large presence in Britain it is actually an Australian company and most Hanimex calculators of the 1970s were made in Hong Kong, and so its general calculators are not featured in this British Calculators section. However, one of the early models was made in the UK by Emihus Microelectronics and so is featured here.

Emihus Microelectronics was a joint venture between EMI (Electrical and Musical Industries) of the UK and Hughes Aircraft of the U.S.A., and based at Clive House, 12-18 Queen's Road, Weybridge, Surrey. The company was a major UK producer of LSI integrated circuits. It is reported that it manufactured this calculator model for Hanimex and then introduced its own Gemini range. This appears to be related to Gemine range shown on the Gemini page.
