ABOUT HEWLETT-PACKARD
Since its founding in Palo Alto, California, in 1939,
Hewlett-Packard has grown from a two-man operation into
a world-wide organization of more than 7000 people, with
an annual sales volume exceeding $125 million,
The company and its affiliates now have more than a
dozen manufacturing plants, including two in Western
Europe and one in Japan. Sales and service offices are lo-
cated in nearly every major city in the free world.
Although Hewlett-Packard's growth has been dynamic
and far-reaching, the company has never altered its original
objective - to make significant contributions to the special-
ized field of electronic instrumentation, T o this end, it has
concentrated its energies and resources on developing in-
struments which provide the greatest possible usefulness,
accuracy, convenience, dependability and dollar value.
Among the principle categories of Hewlett-Packard in-
strumentation are oscillators, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, pulse
generators, graphic recorders, data acquisition systems,
waveguide test equipment, signal generators, electronic
counters, frequency and time standards, impedance measur-
ing instruments, power supplies, solid-state components,
medical diagnostic equipment and instruments for chemical
and nuclear measurement.
The market for the company's instruments covers a
broad spectrum of science, business and industry. From
electronic development laboratories to radio and T V
studios, from chemical research facilities to aircraft plants,
from banks to medical laboratories, from steel mills to
space vehicle installations - Hewlett-Packard equipment is
found in a wide variety of applications.
Now in its second quarter century of growth and prog-
ress, Hewlett-Packard intends to continue providing instru-
ments which represent the utmost in fine craftsmanship -
a standard of quality unmatched in the electronic test equip-
ment field.
Hewlett-Packard Divisions and Affiliates
To provide the full advantage of specialized engineering
and manufacturing know-how for each product, Hewlett-
Packard operates through product-oriented divisions, each
responsible for one or more types of instrumentation. The
general manager of each division administers all aspects of
engineering, manufacturing and marketing for a given
product group.
Hewlett-Packard sales divisions, each responsible for lo-
cal service in a defined geographic territory, are listed at
the end of this catalog.
Two Hewlett-Packard divisions are at 1501 Page Mill
Road in Palo Alto, California. Products of the Frequency
atzd Time Division include electronic counters and precise
frequency and time standards. The Microwuve Division
produces signal generators, waveguide and other special-
ized test equipment for use at microwave frequencies.

LOOK FOR THESE BEFORE-THE-SALE SERVICES
In addition t o the usual (and some not so usual) after-the-sale services, your Hewlett-Packard Field Office
also offers many services you may find helpful before you decide which piece of equipment to purchase.
Demonstration instruments
For many purposes, a data sheet giving complete technical
specifications is all you require. There are, however, occasions
when you like to have an instrument put through its paces -
have a chance to see for yourself. Your hp field engineer
will be happy to arrange a demonstration of Hewlett-Packard
instruments for you. Also ask your field engineer when an
hp demonstration van will be in your area. These vans offer
you a chance to see and evaluate instruments from all of the
Hewlett-Packard divisions in working displays.
Specials
With such a broad product base, hp is capable of modify-
ing standard instruments to meet a wide variety of special
applications. Divisionalization of the product groups per-
mits a flexibility in our manufacturing methods, and provides
potentials unequaled in the industry. If you have a unique
application and cannot find a standard instrument to do the
job, check with your hp field engineer. He is always ready
to work with you in any way possible.
Staff engineers
When you pick up your telephone, the quickest, most
efficient source of technical assistance and application in-
formation is your hp field office staff engineer. To ensure
that there is always someone available who talks your lan-
guage, your staff engineer spends all of his time in the office,
ready to answer your call. He is the in-office counterpart of
your field engineer and directly assists him in giving you
the finest possible service. If you have an application ques-
tion or if you need technical information on hp products,
just give him a call,

A VARIETY OF TECHNICAL
PUBLICAT10NS-Y 0URS
FOR THE ASKING
Hewlett-Packard willingly incurs the obligation to keep
you informed of new measurement techniques, applications,
new instruments, maintenance and service procedures. To
do this, your hp field office offers a number of publications,
each designed for a specific purpose.
If you are interested in receiving any of the following
publications, simply contact the field office nearest you.
Operating and Service Manuals -----
"* ,
- -
Operating and Service Manuals provide operating instruc-
tions, theory of operation, maintenance and calibration in-
formation, schematics and a table of replaceable parts. Al-
though they are supplied with each new hp instrument, you
may wish to purchase extra copies or replace your original
copy if it has been misplaced. Manuals for current instru-
ments are always available, and copies for many older in-
struments are quite often still in print.

Bench Briefs
This newsletter briefly reviews new hp service informa-
tion as it becomes available. Typical subjects include new
modifications, service short cuts and parts information. Dis-
tributed by mail, Bench Briefs is sent to individuals directly
concerned with repair and maintenance of hp instruments.
6
Hewlett-Packard Journal
A monthly technical publication from the h p laboratories,
the Journal brings you new measuring techniques and de-
scribes advances in the state-of-the-art for measuring instru-
ments. To receive your copy of the Journal each month, just
ask that your name be added to the Journal mailing list,
Service Notes
This series of technical publications is available for dis-
tribution to customers' facilities where hp instruments are
repaired and maintained. Service Note topics include new

your hp field engineer for a copy of the Service Note Index.
Application Publications
As the name implies, Application Publications deal pri-
marily with uses of hp equipment. Because of their special-
ized nature, these Publications are distributed by individual
request only rather than on a mailing list. Ask for the com-
plete Application Publications Index so you may order those
which are of interest to you.
Measurement News
Announcements of new instruments and Application
Publications as they become available, as well as articles of
local interest, are brought to you by your h p field office in
this bi-monthly publication.

OFF-THE-SHELF DELIVERY
FOR YOUR HP
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement parts play a key role in Hewlett-Packard's
service-in-depth program. Prompt instrument maintenance,
whether it's done in your shop or by one of the hp field
offices, depends on the immediate availability of the neces-
sary replacement parts, For this reason, extensive parts in-
ventories are maintained throughout the field. Over 90%
of the orders for hp replacement parts are shipped the same
day they are received, To back up these inventories, Hewlett-
Packard has developed a fast drop-ship procedure from
regional centers to assure you of immediate response to
your replacement parts needs.
AC ess ries and operatin supplies
In addition to the usual individual replacement parts,
accessories and operating supplies are also in stock ready
for' immediate delivery for the instruments manufactured
by the Hewlett-Packard companies.
Modification kits
Like replacement parts, modification kits may be ordered
by h p stock number from your nearby field office. Two publi-
cations from hp customer service, Service Notes and Bench
Briefs (see preceding pages), keep you abreast of modifica-
tions which are available.
A complete inventory of replacement parts, ac-
cessories a n d o p e r a ti n g supplies is m a i n t ained

Spare parts kits
Several types of parts kits are available to assure continuous
operation from your h p instruments when they are being
used in an isolated area, or where loss of the instrument
use would be extremely critical. "Running Spares" and "Iso-
lated Service" kits offer varying degrees of completeness,
and you can pick the kit that most nearly satisfies your
requirements.

INSTRUMENT SERVICES
WHEN YOU NEED THEM
The Hewlett-Packard field office is not just a point of
contact, a mere passer of messages, The service departments
located at more than 40 of the field offices have fully
equipped, factory-trained repair and maintenance groups
prepared to offer you immediate assistance on your Hewlett-
Packard instruments.
Instrument recalibration
T o insure continued reliability, the proper operation of
any electronic instrument should be routinely verified from
time to time. The Operating and Service Manual for each
h p instrument provides the information required for field
recalibration. If it is not convenient for you to recalibrate
your hp instrument, contact your nearest hp field office.
Standards calibration and traceability to NBS
Special "standards calibration" services also are available.
These services are in addition to the precision recalibration
services mentioned above, and include a calibration report
on each equipment item calibrated. The report contains (1) a
description of measurement conditions, ( 2 ) the measure-
ments made and accuracy, and ( 3 ) demonstration of trace-
ability to the National Bureau of Standards (where appli-
cable).
Repair and maintenance
When your hp instrument is not functioning properly,
you usually need service fast. Whether it is routine mainte-
nance or emergency repair, the field service department is
staffed and equipped to do the job quickly.
M a n y times, maintenance i n fo r m a ti o n c a n be
handled easily over t h e phone.
10
Instrument overhaul
Older h p instruments that have been in operation for a
number of years can be brought up to meet the specifications
of the current production instruments of the same model.
If your particular model is no longer being manufactured,
overhaul will put it in a condition equivalent to when it
was originally purchased.
Modification
The characteristics of your standard hp instrument can
occasionally be modified to satisfy special requirements, or
an older instrument that has been in the field for some time
can be up-dated by one of many modifications available
through the field service department. Most modifications
can be easily performed in your plant by your technicians
(see Modification Kits, page 8).
Other instrument services available
Hewlett-Packard instrument services, of course, go beyond
the usual repair and calibration. Service contracts are avail-
able through your hp field office, and systems installation is
provided when needed.
Returning your instrument for service
When returning an hp instrument to your hp field office
for service, following the three suggestions listed will help
get it back to you in the shortest possible time:
1. Send complete instructions telling what you would
like done to the instrument (repair, overhaul, certify
- with NBS traceability, etc.) .
2. If the instrument needs to be repaired, include com-
plete information about the "symptoms."
3. Indicate the address to which the instrument is to
be returned, plus the addresses to use for corre-
spondence and billing purposes.

HEWLETT- PACKARD
MODULAR ENCLOSURE
SYSTEM
Versatile instrument packaging
T h e Hewlett-Packard modular enclosure system provides
a complete solution to instrument packaging and mounting
problems. T h e system is in accord with EIA standard rack
and panel dimensions, yet each enclosure is equally well
suited to bench or field use.
T h e matching enclosures offer an enviable combination
of economy, strength and appearance. They are rugged
enough to meet many of the stringent military require-
ments and present a rich, professional appearance which
enhances the value of the instrument.

Two types of instruments
Basically, instruments enclosed in the modular system fall
into two classes:
1. Those units which require the full EIA rack width.
This class of instruments mounts directly in racks
with the two brackets and filler-strip included with
the instrument. Extension slides are available for use
in rack mounting these instruments to provide com-
plete accessibility for quick, convenient servicing. Feet
and tilt stand also are provided with full-module in-

able space. For semi-permanent stacking, joining
brackets are available which effectively combine two
instruments into a single physical unit. Control panel
covers are also available for these instruments to pro-
tect them when they are transported.
2. Those units which d o not need the full rack width,
These instruments are standardized at one-half or
one-third the width of the full module. Because of
their size, they are easily portable and can be used
readily in the field, as well as on the bench. Acces-
sory handles 11056A (one-third module) and 11057A
(one-half module) are attached easily to these instru-
ments for added handling convenience. In addition,
adapter frames are available to mount these units in

package that is both portable and easily rack mounted
with the hardware provided. Both combining cases
and rack adapter frames use blank panels to fill areas
not used by instruments and accept one-third width
drawers for convenient storage of leads, probes, etc.
Model 1052A Combining Cases also accept cooling
kits to maintain proper ambient temperature.
