Much of that kind of material is in Agilent's archive. I think the Agilent research library (in Palo Alto, CA) might be of some help. There's a fabulous picture in labstock here at HP Labs of Bill and Dave reviewing the production line for some older nixie tube counters. In the background of the picture are racks and racks of counters, presumably being burned in. I think I recognize a 5246L. Next time I get over to corporate(*) and remember (two rare events), I'll ask the HP archivist if there's a high quality scan of that picture available -- they have the originals and copies of most of the pictures of the founders. -ch (*) I was over there today to give a presentation to HP's Board of Directors. Luckily it went well and I am still employed. :-) _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
