The Toshiba TOSCAL BC-1412 is a follow-on machine to Toshiba's second electronic calculator, the amazing BC-1411, utilizing a more more dense packaging scheme with low-profile vertically mounted diode-resistor logic gate daughter boards attached to the main logic boards. The BC-1412 uses Toshiba's unique refreshed capacitor register memory system used in the BC-1411, but rather radically reduced it in size. The result was a much smaller and lighter calculator that had all of the features of the BC-1411 with only difference being is that the BC-1412 uses a fixed decimal point location versus the automatic decimal point locating in the BC-1411.
