Enterprise / Enterprise Programmable

Two of Sinclair's last calculators, named diplomatically after Sinclair Radionics' government backers, the National Enterprise Board. They were launched in October 1977 and July 1978 respectively, and were amongst the last generation of calculators with red LED displays. They faced stiff competition from cheaper and less power-hungry Japanese LCD calculators which before long killed the LED calculator market. The Enterprise Programmable was Sinclair's last stab at an innovative calculator but by 1978 both models were being sold at a loss.
