The Sumlock ANITA (A New Inspiration To Arithmetic) calculator is notable for being one of the first commercially available electronic calculators. It was introduced in the late 1960s by the British company Sumlock Comptometer. The ANITA was groundbreaking for its time, utilizing transistors rather than mechanical parts for calculations, which was a significant innovation over earlier calculating machines.
