A purchase from about six months back, this Sharp PC-1001 was once property of Boeing.  I dated this calculator from the factory inspection label on the back (yes, it is still there after all these years); it was produced in August of 1974.  Here is being shown a simple program I wrote to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.  I had to learn how to program this from trial and error; even with "intuitive programming" it has a rather steep learning curve.
