Innovation in Silicon Glen

REVISION 2a: (December 2021)

Privately published in 2021, the 3 volume 1200 page history
of Hewlett-Packard South Queensferry is believed to be one of
the most complete industrial histories in the UK, if not Europe.
It charts the facility from inception in the 1960s through closure
and demolition in 2013. Volume 1 covers the full 50 year story,
Volume 2 the technology developed, and the final volume is a illustrated colour photo book.
