A little more topic drift, but on the subject of books about HP (forgive me if
this one has already been mentioned) I have a copy of "Inventions of
Opportunity: Matching Technology with Market Needs". This is mostly selections
from HP Journal with an introduction by Bill Hewlett.
It does have a couple of Timenuts stories: "The High-Speed Frequency
Counter---A new Solution to an Old Problem", which describes the HP 524 from
January 1951 and "A New Performance of the "Flying Clock" Experiment" from July
1964.

Hello Time Nuts,
Being a bit new to HP (only 35 years), I never head of Dymec before. A quick Google
search yielded this link, which is an excerpt from the book "Becoming Hewlett
Packard, Why Strategic Leadership Matters." You can read about 10 pages of the
book from the preview, which talks about HPs creation of the Dymec corporation, which
then became a division. Scroll back to page 102 for some context.

I plan to buy a copy of the book and read it on my trip to Hong Kong this
weekend. If it is interesting, I'll write a quick review for you all.
Tom V: Let us know if we are wandering too far off topic for time-nuts.
