Counters of yore (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abaci

(Other definitions for abaci that I've seen before include "Counters" , "They once reckoned" , "help for summer" , "on which people may be counting?" , "sliding scales for calculation?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
