		*Sinclair Cambridge Memory* models**

	There were several varieties of Sinclair Cambridge Memory calculator made, and they can be distinguished by the keys and the batteries used. Listed on this page is what we believe to be all of the models in what we think is the chronological order.

Sinclair Cambridge Memory (type 1).

8 digits, red LED.

4-functions, memory.

Has [C/CE] and [RM/CM] (one press recalls from memory and two presses clears the memory) keys.

Batteries: 4x AAA.

50 mm x 111 mm x 28 mm (2" x 4.4" x 1.1").
