You may wonder what a busienss and finance calculator set is dong on a Space Patrol cosole. Well, Space Patrol, unlike, the other shows was involved with the larger society as a whole. This larger society was patterned after the mid-twentieth century United States. Buzz Corry had many friends in the business world. Many episodes involved political intrigue and that is where I first heard the term "pressure group". One of the jobs of Space Patrol was to protect money shipments, another was to investigate corrupt businesses and politicians. So it is natural that a Space Patrol Power Console would not be complete without a business calculator section.
