I downloaded the "Computing Examples" manual from [ed. mis-typed www site], but the "Commerce and Industry" section is missing. Is the complete manual available on line somewhere else?. Thanks for any help.

I don't know anything about the Commerce and Industry document.

On-line documentation is scarce. No one seems to want to spend the time needed to transfer the old printed documents into a digital version. If anyone out there wants to scan/type or whatever, why not make a Wiki page in this site.

I did a little bit of sleuthing after the above link didn't work.

These two do work

https://www.isi.edu/division7/Netstation/curta/curta.html

and

https://web.archive.org/web/20050715083702/https://www.isi.edu/~finn/curta/curta.html#Cubes%20with%20intermediate%20notes

and the link to the source file, or what appears to be the source
http://www.curtamania.com/curta/documents/Computing%20Examples%20for%20the%20Curta%20Calculating%20Machine.pdf


Hope this helps
