HP 35 Oddity Message #1 Posted by john on 23 May 2001, 3:39 a.m. I recently aquired a 35 and was suprised to find across the bottom YOKOGAWA-HEWLETT-PACKARD and the usual HP logo replaced with Y-H-P (still inside the blue/black semicircles). The machine was made in Singapore and the rear label is in English. Never seen another HP like this,(I have a couple of others also made in Singapore). Anyone care to comment?

Re: HP 35 Oddity Message #2 Posted by Y. Samuel Arai on 23 May 2001, 4:08 a.m., in response to message #1 by john That's the Japanese version. Hewlett-Packard and Yokogawa Electric formed a joint venture in Japan in 1963, where Yokogawa Electric would market HP products in Japan with YHP or Yokogawa-Hewlett-Packard as the brand name. This naming scheme was dropped in 1995 in favor of "Hewlett-Packard Japan Ltd." You can view some pictures of calculators with this branding at: http://member.nifty.ne.jp/handheld/calculator/hp/hp.html
