RE: Hp 41 memory?
I can’t magnify the image to the right of the MBK but I suspect it’s a Gold Griffin which would identify it as Midland Bank. I worked as an IT freelance Contractor for them between 1986-1990 in the UK. In the 1950s they were the largest Banking Company in the World, whereas their humiliating attempt to get a hold into the American Finance Sector in the 1980s by buying Crocker Bank (the name says it all if you’re English!) lost them nearly £1bn and almost the complete collapse of the Midland Group! Apparently Crocker had invested heavily in property all along the San Andreas fault line! Wells Fargo I believe bought Crocker for $1 and then HSBC absorbed Wells Fargo, and then HSBC Increased their 15% ownership of Midland Bank in the early 1990s to 100%. A few years later the Midland Bank logo/name disappeared into History. ‘Round and round it goes and where it stops no one knows’
