Accuracy Management of early HPs

[Kostas Kritsilas]

i would imagine that anything that required accuracy greater than 10 digits would be used with either a computer, or one of the larger desktop calculators, depending on exactly how many digits of accuracy were needed. Most of the users that needed greater than 10 digit accuracy knew about the accuracy limitations of the early HPs and took those into account when working on things. Just speculation on my part, but seems straightforward and logical to me.
