Tektronix set up a plant on the Isle of Guernsey in 1958 because the residents spoke English and Guernsey had a trade agreement with the European Economic Community (predecessor of the European Union) that allowed sales of instruments to countries in Europe with reduced tariffs and shipping costs, compared to shipping from the U.S. A vintageTEK Museum visitor who had worked at Tek Guernsey said that, at the time, the island's entire economy was the Three T's: Tourism, Tomatoes and Tektronix.
This replaces an earlier version that had time code on screen.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. My mum worked there in 1967 for a few years, so this is wonderful to see.

Where Tektronix used to be near the airport, it is now the HQ of Specsavers and I used to work at the Victoria Avenue site for 3 years.

A time machine! I was transported back to Mrs Wood's 8th grade class and a Winston Hibbler narrated Disney educational film Nature's Half Acre.

From 0:00 to 13:12 is an overview of this wonderous island nation very rooted in mainland European history. From 13:13 the Tektronix plant on Victoria Avenue is shown. They were there until 1963 when a new larger plant opened north of the airport.
