Royal Excursion: Prince Philippe Visits HP

Prince Philippe of Belgium visited two different Hewlett-Packard facilities in September 1985. In Corvallis, he followed the life-cycle of an HP calculator from R&D through manufacturing and marketing. The prince also toured HP Labs, the Personal Office Computer Division and the corporate computing center in Silicon Valley. The visits were part of Prince Philippe’s 10-day itinerary on the West Coast to learn more about U.S. high technology.
