To paraphrase an old country tune…
The Beocord 8000 Design Story
#58 in a series of articles about the technology behind Bang & Olufsen products
Cleaning up around my desk again… This time I found a booklet called the “Beocord 8000 Design Story” published by Bang & Olufsen in December of 1979. This one has some interesting information about cassette tape recorders/players – including a paper describing a cool way to measure head wear. Click here to download the file.
Happy Canada Day
Tonight’s homework
This evening’s homework
Of course, I also spent some time watching the story of the tortoise and the hare uh.. David and Goliath uh… I mean Iceland vs. England…
For geeks only:
Reference: Script in the Copperplate Style: Engrosser’s Script at the IAMPETH site
Pen: Pilot “Orient” (Ink-stopper, eyedropper)
Nib: Pilot 14 k <2>, Made in Japan
Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-guri (Wild Chestnut)
Paper: Rhodia No 19 Dot Pad
Parker 51 Aerometric
This is a pen that my son cleaned up. He did a great job, and it has a nice, smooth nib – a great example of a 51. So I bought it from him, and he used the profits to buy some more pens to work on. Win win.
