"Getting back
to the HP Way"
|
"In my personal experiences with
Dave and Bill, you certainly had opportunities to give your
inputs. But once that was done, a decision was made.."
"...studying and analyzing without implementation,
procrastination caused by trying to achieve consensus and
allowing everybody involved in a decision to have veto power on
every other person's business... those are the kind of values
that I'd like to see go away." --HP
board member and retired executive Dick Hackborn in May 1999.

Fantasia (pages 8-11) |
HP's very first instrument sale -- eight of Bill's audio
oscillators to the Walt Disney Company. "Fantasia
premiered on November 13, 1940, at New York's Broadway Theater,
one of only 12 theaters in the world specially equipped to run
it ...three sound horns behind the picture screen instead of the
usual one, plus 56 small house speakers placed strategically
through the auditorium. Disney engineers used HP Model 200B
audio oscillators to test the various channels, recording
equipment and speaker systems in the theaters that showed the
film." |
