The UniCom 141P printing calculator sold for $695 when introduced in 1972. It was built by Busicom Corp of Japan (formerly Nippon Calculating Machine). The calculator was initially sold as the Busicom 141-PF and then was sold by UniCom and National Cash Register.

The integrated circuits used in the calculator were a result of a joint development effort by Busicom and Intel. Intel offered the chip set as the MCS-4 microcomputer system in November 1971. It included the Intel 4004 4-bit CPU, one of the earliest microprocessors.
