DescriptionDescription: The new electric calculators without protruding handles or levers made a new, contemporary streamlined design possible. In 1965, Åtvidaberg changed its name to Facit; in the 1970s, however, Facit went through a deep financial crisis caused by their failure to transition production from mechanical to electronic machinery. In 1973, Facit was bought by Electrolux, which stopped producing calculators in Åtvidaberg in 1975.
