CASIO fx-31

Description

Brand: CASIO
Model: fx-31
Type: Scientific calculator
Picture: CASIO fx-31
Batteries: AA x 2
Lifetime: Introduced: ca. 1976
Terminated: unknown
Notes: This CASIO scientific calculator has a fluorescent display, and a slider to switch between modes. The display has no marker to indicate that a number is stored in the calculator’s memory so it’s up to the user to remember this. Other than that, the display does show minute/second marks.

This calculator (as do many other CASIO scientific calculators) uses one and the same key for both the constant π as well as exponents. This works as follows. When you first enter digits, the EXP key will enable you to enter the exponent, otherwise it will enter the constant π.

Thank you, Joop Berck, for donating this calculator to the museum.
