Title: HP 1976 shadow box art, HP 5000a LSA
Post by: mattil3 on November 17, 2018, 04:19:41 am

Hello,

I found an interesting piece of Hewlett Packard art from 1976.  It seems related to the 5000a LSA, but I am not sure of much more.
I was wondering if anyone had any additional information on this.

Thanks

Nice.

I'm guessing (completely) that it's some sort of in-house art signifying important HP events during 1976 and that a number of them were made for display in the reception area of all HP offices worldwide.

Not sure why the 5000a is shown - that was released in 1973 and they had better gear out by 1976.

Circular unit on the RHS looks like part of the 11602B transistor fixture for a 8745A S-parameter test set.
