The change came at the Corvalis/Australia split time...
The Melbourne team did not have any of the mechanical files, so we had to redo it anyway...
At the same time, the focus for the calcs changed from engineers to more youth/education, and also lower cost...

A sad turn, IMV. The great engendering aesthetic that drove the design of HP calculators up to that point took a big hit then.
