By entering new and promising fields of instrumentation we expect to broaden and diversify our product line and continue our efforts to make significant contributions to scientific and industrial progress. With this diversification and the growing complexity of our worldwide operations, we have been faced with a number of new problems and challenges.

Our best wishes to you and your families for a Happy Holiday Season. www.HPARCHIVE.com T HE YEAR IS CLOSING on a note of optimism and confidence for Hewlett-Packard.
