Information in these datasheets comes from many sources. I do not claim that all the information presented here is accurate and reliable.
Years of production and price information is collected from Internet sources, such as the HP Calculator Museum. Sometimes, in the absence of reliable information, the figures are my estimates. If I could not provide a reasonable estimate, I left these fields blank.
Information about size, weight, batteries and battery packs comes from examining the actual units in my collection. Size and weight information is approximate.
Programming information is based on the manuals and my experience with these calculators. For instance, even though the Texas Instruments SR-52 is described in the manual as having 20 memories, I used the figure of 22, because, as many SR-52 owners know, an additional two memories (98 and 99) can also be utilized.
