It was the first hand-held calculator able to perform logarithmic and trigonometric functions with one keystroke. The red LED display could give scientific notation up to 10 digits mantissa and 2 digits exponent. The price was reduced several times, eventually to $195. By Feb 1975 (when production of the model was discontinued), 300,000 had been sold. The numbers and functions for calculations were entered in “Reverse Polish Notation”(RPN), which used an “ENTER” key but needed no parentheses or “=” key. It ran on rechargeable batteries and had electronics with several integrated circuits in a 3.1" x 5.8" x 1.4" case. http://bit.ly/2jyJ1rcState: Oklahoma# Days Sunshine 231 /205 http://bit.ly/2kV0EynGrow zones 6A - 7A Approx 200 days of grow season +/- panhandle or southhttp://bit.ly/2kULitWPrecipitation 63 days / 36.5” rain / 6.3” snow OKC & East, good to goPopulation density #35 56.1 ppl/mileLargest city - OKCHow many over 50K - 11-12Median Household Income - $40-$50KDemographics - ¾ white, ¼ everyone else.
