[time-nuts] HP History with Dymec: "Becoming Hewlett Packard. Why Strategic Leadership Matters"

[Wes]

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.

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.
