nostalgia...

I used to have one of these in the garage. But the most interesting thing I saw at the end of the seventies was in the accounts department of the Kovrov Excavator Factory. I had just read "The Snail on the Slope" by ABS and saw in person how "the Mercedes rattled and twitched..." on the accountant's desk.
P.S.
"Mercedes" is the brand name of a keyboard electromechanical arithmometer of the German firm of the same name.

Валялся такой в гараже. Но самую интересную штуку видел в конце семидесятых в бухгалтерии Ковровского экскаваторного завода. Только что прочитал "Улитку на склоне" АБС и вживую увидел, как "Мерседес" застучал и задергался..." на столе у бухгалтера.
Are you ill? From "Snail..."
-Fine! -The presiding officer exclaimed. -Now list the foot ailments you've been suffering from.
-Rheumatism.
-Anything else?
-Intermittent claudication, Peretz said.
-Very good. Anything else?
-Nasminitis, Peretz said.
-It's not a foot disease.
-I don't know. You might not have a foot disease. I have feet. I get wet feet and runny nose.

There was also a Rheinmetall one. It was also mentioned by ABS.

Григорию Перельману посвятили песню.

Also poems (I. Irteniev):

Practice numbers.

Why are you stubborn like a sheep?
Enough with the style!
Stop breaking, Perelman,
Take your million.

The country is laughing at you,
Ridiculous Perelman,
♪ Come on, blow the whistle ♪
And put it in your pocket.

♪ Are you a Jew or not a Jew? ♪
# And if you are, you've got to answer #
And if you are, take it.
♪ And don't disgrace your fathers ♪

There's an ancient faucet in the kitchen,
Of Ochakov's time:
- Don't be an idiot, Perelman,
Take your million.

The couch squeaks and creaks,
A bedbug's den:
- Change me, O Perelman,
Take your million.

Or, in pride of mind,
♪ You've decided that the price to pay ♪
For your merits, Perelman,
Isn't equal enough?

- "No," says Perelman.
It's not a question of price.
I have been given such a genius from above
That I am quite happy.

Euclid, Kapitsa, Galileo
My equals and relatives.
Is a paltry six zeroes
is a reward for me?

...He shut the compartment tightly.
And went to the bottom again.
Yes, Grisha is a man!
And we are all shit here.

Isn't SProgrammera's name Grisha by any chance? ))))

I personally remember a domestic one called iron Felix. In the mid-seventies two aunts in our department used it for quantum-mechanical calculations. Quantum mechanics, Schrödinger equation, eigenvectors, spectra and... an iron arithmometer. I can't get my head around it anymore.
