Handheld MultiVar Counter

描述
Following A.R.D.A.'s issue of the "Handheld Binumeral Counter", to little success or commonuse, A.R.D.A. redesigned their counter for a much more open and intuitive use.

With theoretically infinite counters and numeric range, the "Handheld MultiVar (Multiple Variable) Counter" made its debut in 1970. The release of it also marked the end of the Binumerial Counter for both production and commonuse.

From it's initial zone-researcher-only release, to its public debut in 1972 (much to the glee of anyone who counted many things), the handheld MultiVar Counter was a major success. It's "infinite range in counting spaces, numbers, and application" made it commonplace in the commerical world, and its application of LIM Technology allowed for an infinite energy span in areas where LIM was openly accessible.

Following the ban on LIM after the [redacted], the Handheld MultiVar Counter was recalled, refitted with standard batteries (3x AA), and redistributed in a massive effort for "community safety and wellbeing", along with any other LIM Tech.

While production of them ceased in 1986, models like this one still float around the market, for unsurprisingly low prices, as a result of [redacted].

The numbers 1-6 (number row) control the buttons (top three L -> R, the bottom three L -> R) and increase the counters individually. The side button or spacebar adds a new counter, and deletes the counter with the lowest number.


Note: The description, design, and gadget, while meant to sound like a historical overview, were both created and thought of by me. This gadget was not based off of a real life preexisting technology.

The "A.R.D.A." logo and name, "LIM Tech/Technology", and the "zone" are from the game Pacific Drive - Ironwood Studios (Kepler Interactive) on Steam. They do not belong to me, and I do not claim credit for such.
