I think that such "internal levers" are quite underrated.

There is a #MathGrenade auction on Ebay right now (in its final day, up to $550 currently) of a 1964 CURTA hand crank mechanical calculator

* complete with metal case for this #PepperGrinder design, from a WWII Concentration camp (Buchenwald) survivor
