Dave, THANKS! I love these type of videos. I have loved HP equipment since I can remember ever hearing of it and I am now retired with most of my test gear bearing the HP logo. GREAT equipment designed to last. I spent over 36 years with McDonnell Douglas and later Boeing, they TRIED to instill this ethic, the HP way, but the guys in the middle top just could not let go. When I was in tooling inspection, I was fortunate enough to have several supervisors who would assign the work at the start of the day then you did not see them again unless you needed something and went to them. They expected you to do the job and do it well. If you needed equipment they would do their best to get it to you. At the time of the plant closing in 2015, I had been the Boeing representative for years, serving the entire Southern California vendor network. If Boeing contracted work out to be done, it was me that went out to inspect the work at the vendor shops, I was free to say yes or no to accept the work as I saw fit that it met the requirements. Management backed me up every time good or bad. When an employee knows the "boss has his back" you can expect them to go above and beyond to get the job done in the best way possible. Good times, happy times. Management attitude makes ALL the difference!

I'm sure it was OK in the States, but their mains transformers were always short of inductance when it came to handling 50Hz mains, and you could rely on them dying at some point.

A little anecdote about HP. I wish that it were first hand but, it is from my brother. In 1975 I was a Sophomore in High School my brother was a freshman at UCLA, majoring in Physics. One day a HP rep. came to the lecture hall, I believe that it might have been Royce Hall, to demonstrate their newest calculator. I think it was the HP25. Well, the first time any of the students actually saw the calculator it was flying in through the door and across the room directly in front of the chalk boards. It had been thrown hard enough to hit the wall on the opposite side of the room. The rep. picked up the calculator, which was still on and unharmed, and used that same one for the entire demonstration. The calculator was demonstrated at the bottom of a bucket of water as well. He still has one and it still functions flawlessly. Sadly, I don't think that HP is still the great company that it was back then.

Thank you for this amazing video, Dave! I remember a story about Bill ... it was said that one day, on a Saturday, he came to the H-P Labs and saw the door being padlocked. He went back to his car, grabbed the largest bolt cutter he brought, gathered the Building Security around, and cut that padlock. Then he said, "This door must remain open at all time so our engineers can come in at any time if they want to experiment." H-P was an amazing company. What existed now is a sad shell, a mere echo of what it once was...
@v8pilot Жыл бұрын
I remember being told that story and it was the component store that was padlocked. He wanted some resistors or something on a Sunday. He cut the padlock took the resistors he wanted and left a note "This door must not be locked. Bill Hewlett". The Bill and Dave view was that if engineers were building some electronics in their spare time, the company benefited from their increased experience and their new ideas.

I'm 73 and I've been buying HP products for over 50 years. I remember the owner of the company buying the HP35 for $400, I bought mine when the price got down to $300. The battery died but I still have that calculator and it still works. I dealt with the Boston Hp office for test equipment and always got superb service, it made no difference if it was a schematic for 20 year old HP test gear or a brand new oscilloscope. They were the best company I ever dealt with.

My brother has been with HP (now at HPE) since 1984. Seems like he was there to see the beginning of the end, from what he's shared over the years. He did speak of "The HP Way" early on and yes, he was entrusted to important products and projects right away. "Change" in his era has progressively gotten worse and morphed into one of the worst examples of "business for the the sake of the shareholder", perverting the company's purpose to it without actually delivering on it. Some 25 years ago they closed the regional sales office he worked from, but since his work had shifted to both remote and on-site customer support, he switched to working from home. Recent legend has it a certain previous CEO stepped into a facility in California to see empty cubes and made an edict that *everybody* had to show up in an HP office during every week. Hard for my brother because the nearest office is about 110 miles and that office is/was for medical stuff and he only had (HIPPA related) clearance to connect to the guest Wi-Fi. But he did do that commute twice a week until the most recent HP / HPE split.

Wow! What a refreshing documentary! Bill and Dave were certainly incredible innovators and leaders of the human spirit. It brought back some memories of the kinds of people I grew up with. There is an old saying I heard a lot growing up, “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” My Dad and Mom fought hard to build a business centered around this type of philosophy. We still use the upside down organization chart. Management sits at the bottom to support those who help build the business sitting at the top, the employees. Thanks for sharing and highlighting this story; truly words to live by.

Thank you for sharing this. The HP Way does live on, it is just that the name of that core is now Keysight. Since the Agilent spin off which begat Keysight, "HP" is just a name. The same HP Loveland Division, Colorado Springs Division, Santa Rosa Division and other HP instrument divisions are still there and many of the same people are working at those sites. They just have the Keysight name on them now. I have been fortunate to spend my entire post college career with HP then Agilent, and Keysight since getting hired at HP in 1978. There are many many employees like me who have been there since the HP days. Which is another indication of the continuation of the HP Way -- employees are treated with respect and valued for their contributions no matter their age. It seems like we all have a "Bill and Dave" story that we share.

Some of our lower cost instruments are made in Chengdu China. And for TAA compliance we assemble some products in Singapore.

At one time, a few years after I started, I was in charge of the inventory of what we called "school stock," meaning old-but-still-working equipment that was intended for donations to various colleges. Unfortunately I was too young at the time to recognize the full import of what I was handling, although I did feel that little twinge of pride when those boxes of oscillators and voltmeters and spectrum analyzers went out the door. :)

I started at Texas Instruments in 1973. It was the calculator department in the Semiconductor Division. Every department acted as if it was it's own small company. The model was perfect, innovation was more important than rank, much like HP's. When Bucy took over, everything changed. It wasn't the employee's company any more, it was the upper management's company. Too bad. BTW, TI was often referred to as Training Institute, because of all the start-up that sprung up. I guess the same thing happened at HP, it just took a little longer.

Back when they actually cared and made quality products. Probooks are a disgrace and the HP update software utility encompasses this cut-corners-attitude perfectly.

Milton Friedman introduced the theory in a 1970 essay for The New York Times titled "A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits". In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders. People that took over HP ( and most American companies) follow this doctrine. Profits is all that matters.

I just wonder how those cheapo HP plastic garbage printers, costing less than 40€, full genuine ink-set costing even more than the printer itself, with its totally unreliable printing/drivers, how does that fit in such a gorgeous company history profile with quality products... Its a little bit sad.

Ironic with all the age discrimination lawsuits by long time employees at HPE. Stock price has hardly budged since March. Too many people riding the coattails of employees they fired. I guess that's why they're showing this. Good products - Lousy leadership.
