HP-35 Scientific Pocket Calculator
This is a Scientific Pocket Calculator. It was designed by Edward Liljenwall and the design director was Dave Cochran and manufactured by Hewlett-Packard. It is dated 1972 and we acquired it in 2017. Its medium is molded plastic, metal, electronic components. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In 1971, William Hewlett challenged his engineers to miniaturize the company’s 9100A Desktop Calculator, a forty-pound machine, into a device small enough to fit into his shirt pocket. The following year, Hewlett-Packard released the HP-35, the world’s first scientific pocket calculator capable of advanced calculations. The HP-35 name refers to the device’s 35 buttons. The HP-35 was the first scientific calculator to be sent to space, aboard the Skylab space station in the 1970s.
