The innovative TI-58 was the perfect base for a lot of customized calculators. This one was used end of the 70th by insurance agents of the France Chrysler-Simca company. The idea behind these products was the novelity of the Solid State Software Modules™ with up to 5000 program steps. This software was written by the SW-engineers of the Chrysler-Simca company and programmed into the modules by Texas Instruments.

Compare it with a similar product by the insurance competitions Agrippina, Allianz, LVM, Lloyd, Nordstern and Victoria or the CAL-Q-TAX calculator.

Another approach to customize a calculator could be found in the Goulds Pumpulator.
