Vintage Tektronix factory photos

I discovered these photos a few months ago. I just picked up a Tek 585 last weekend and it reminded me about these. Someone from Tektronix posted hundreds of great photos on Flickr from their archives when they were in their heyday back in the 50's and 60's. Looks like it was a great place to work.

....damn....two hours wasted - nice pics, most taken in April 1953, by the calendars. A hot soldering iron at most benches, and the welders sure liked their pin-up ladies. Saw some equipment I recognized, like the first Tek digitizing Oscope (for ATE) and a 511, almost complete.

Thanks for sharing - I bookmarked it for when I want to waste another 2 hours. This waiting for Stephen Colbert is getting to me....

I always find it fascinating to see old office photos with no computers at all.
