I changed the note that these calculators were used by the British Health Service to the British Department of Health and Social Security. The Health Service (now the NHS) does medical stuff. The DHSS, now called the Department of Work and Pensions, is mostly to do with unemployment benefit (though it did once have funding responsibility for the health service, hence the name).

HP-44
editThe David S. Cochran interview briefly mentions the "HP-44". I wanted a little more detail, so I tried to look it up on Wikipedia. Currently HP-44 redirects to this article about the 1984 HP-71B handheld calculator/computer.
That left me confused, because currently this article never mentions "44".
How can we make this less confusing to our readers?
(Apparently that redirect had something to do with this edit, which links to a forum discussion that quotes Gary Friedman's book "Control the world with HP-IL" as saying "The HP-71 ... was originally called the HP-44..." ).
My understanding is that "HP-44" may also refer to the 1980 HP 3000 Series 44 minicomputer ( "3000 Series 44" ).
To comply with the WP:ASTONISH guideline, the HP-44 redirect should take me somewhere that actually mentions "44". --DavidCary (talk) 02:18, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
