Things from B&O

[Madskp]

I am visiting my parents this weekend and found a box in my fathers office with some things he from when he worked at B&O and before

At one period when he worked at B&O he was routing the traces for the print circiut  boards. This was a manuel proces, but instead of drawing the traces and the pads they used self adhesive labels in the correct shape and size for the pads and rools of black tape for the traces:

Of course in time this work could be done on a computer instead, and probably also not effective the old way with double sided PCB’s. My parents could remember that he had training for the computer program in 1985, so these things has not been used for almost 40 years.

 

The other thing I found is actually from before he started at B&O. 2 pocket calenders with B&O logo on the front. But more interestingly on the inside the first many pages are B&O adresses, phone numbers etc.

The product descriptions with prices and description of functions, and also a short part with some electronic knowledge. The rest of it looks to be a standard calender/mini encyklopedia

I have take photos of some of the pages (sorry it’s all in Danish):

Funny, I can see that I was born on a Thursday in week 29 from your picture of the calendar of 1965.

I recal how to do the PCB layout with adhensive pads and traces. Done that a lot in the early 80’s when I in apprenticeship as electronics technician.

I have also done something similar myself in an after school electronic class, but the technic was a little different though I do no remember how. But I guess that it is a lot simpler with todays computer tools and PCB fabrication.

Well at least they had them most of the sixties it looks like. My father was hired to B&O in 1970 but he did not remember if they had them at that point. He did mention thought his boss in a former job in a little radio store always had one of them in his pocket, probably to make it easy to find prices to customers.
