惠普档案馆:HP-01手腕仪器HP-01 <wbr>wrist <wbr>instrument

    You might as well start scouring eBay right now for this cool bit of techno-kitsch – though we doubt you’ll find it. At a time of LED watches being en vogue, the HP-01 did a whole lot more.

    你们可能现在正在eBay上搜寻这个很酷的但又有些设计俗气的玩意儿,但我们非常怀疑你们是否能够找到。在那个LED手表流行的时代,HP-01能够做到的比你所想象的更多。

 

    The HP-01 wrist instrument looked like a digital watch but was smarter than many pocket calculators. It performed more than three dozen functions to manipulate and interrelate time, calendar and numeric data. With six interactive functions (time, alarm, timer/stopwatch, date/calendar, calculator and memory) the HP-01 had 28 tiny keys that the user operated with a stylus built into the bracelet.

    HP-01手腕仪器看起来像一个电子表,但比很多袖珍计算器聪明。它有30多个功能,可以操作时间、日历,还和数值数据紧密关联。HP-01具有六个交互功能(时间,闹钟,计时器/秒表,日期/日历,计算器和内存),以及28个小键盘,你用一个手写笔就可以进行操控。
 

    The HP-01, code-named "Cricket," was not a successful product for HP. It was too bulky and heavy, and HP sold it though upscale jewelry stores. But miniaturizing the math functions was quite an engineering feat, and when HP discontinued manufacturing the HP-01, its inner workings were destroyed so no one would copy the extraordinarily small package engineering. The HP Archives has a few of the remaining elements.
    代号“蟋蟀”的HP-01并不是惠普的成功产品。它看上去有些笨重,惠普把它放在高档珠宝店进行销售。它在数学功能的小型化是一个工程上的壮举。当惠普公司停止其生产时,并没有保留其内部生产线,以至于没有人能生产出如此之小的封装工艺。惠普档案馆现在保存的是仅存的一些原件。

 

    The HP-01 currently is one of the most sought after collectibles in the antique electronics market, often fetching two or three times its original price ($650 in silver, $750 for the gold version).

    HP-01现在是古董电子产品市场上宠儿,往往能标到原本价格的两到三倍(银色版650美元,金色版750美元)。
 

    What else happened in 1977? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (better known as MRI) was tested for the first time. The first Apple II computers went on sale. The World Trade Center was completed in downtown Manhattan. Voyagers I and II launch to explorer the outer reaches of our solar system. And, in a galaxy far, far away a movie called, “Star Wars,” took off in theaters. You might have heard of it.
    1977年还发生了什么?核磁共振成像(MRI)首次被测试。第一台Apple II计算机开始销售。世界贸易中心在曼哈顿中心落成。Voyagers I和II升空探索太阳系之外的世界。电影《星球大战》上映。
