This Rockwell-Anita calculator is unusual for two reasons:
- It is the only calculator known with the Rockwell name on it that does not use Rockwell integrated circuits, instead using those from Electronic Arrays, which was a competitor of Rockwell.
- It is the only known desktop calculator with the Anita name not made in the U.K.
This is explained by this model being a Unicom machine relabelled with the ANITA name. Unicom was the trade name of the calculators manufactured by the semiconductor company American Micro-systems Inc. Like Sumlock Anita, it was bought by Rockwell in 1972 which continued to manufacture the Unicom models for a time. See also the Rockwell-ANITA 102 hand-held calculator.
