Adding machines or calculators don't show in contemporary imagery all that often. At least, they feature less frequently than typewriters - makes sense as they would only be found in very specific business settings.
Here one instance where a Burrougsh Portable adding machine is visible in a film. Very appropriatelt, it is being carried. Handled here in the crime (noir) movie "The Undercover Man" of 1949.
When it's been placed on the table, clearly visible as a Burroughs Portable adding machine with the narrow paper-roll platen.
As the company said; easily carried from desk to desk :)
