HP's most accurate financial calculator, oddly enough, and despite only returning the ceiling of solve-for-n.

My dad was a surveyor almost my entire life, he always had this (or a very similar model) in his pocket or on his desk.

As a surveyor, he probably had an 11c or 15c (the 12c is the financial version of the Voyager series).

Aside: Swissmicro sells a series of voyager clones with modern hardware:

I looked at an image of the 11c, that was it for sure.
