Was that the Redwood Building?

The Redwood Building was in the complex, but I worked in the main building, which I think was the first hp building with roof ripples. The division I worked for was initially called Dymec, and old timers filed their hp catalogs upside down so the logo read like the the Dymec logo, which was dy inside a circle,

K&S would have been a leisurely lunch hour walk for you.

K&S?

I was doing polymer synthesis at 1501 Page Mill, making negative resists for direct exposure by electron beam and X-Ray. I adjusted the sensitivity and contrast by selecting ranges of molecular weight (the chain length).

In the research labs? When?

The initial project for HP inket printers (in an unrelated research group of course) used a few bottles of solvents that came out of "my" cabinets.

Great. That sort of answers the when question. When I was doing color work for IBM at Almaden, I worked with some of the hp color folks. That was in the early 90s, so quite a bit later.
