The HP-30 or Spice series are RPN Scientific hand-held calculators introduced by Hewlett-Packard in 1978. Some models are programmable.
Overview
[edit]Perhaps the HP-30 series, Spice, was to be released as a replacement for the aging HP-20 series.[2][3] It has no expandability. The display provided better readability by increasing the digit size and adding commas.
The entry-level was the HP-31E and 32E, that were not programmable; but even the 31E provided a Self-check.[4]
The HP-37E and 38E/C were the financial models of the Spice series.
The battery of these calculators can be changed without using tools. The housing is closed by screws.[5]
Programming
[edit]The HP-33E/C (49 steps plus subroutines)[6] and HP-34C (70 steps)[7] and 38E/C (99 steps)[3] are programmable, the C-models have a permanent memory.
The production of the 31E ended in 1980,[8] production of the other Spice models ended in 1983.[7] As this calculator is regarded amongst the very good in terms of quality, key stroke feel and daily usability for engineers.
