Plan

Somebody going through a file folder of old documents found this and asked if I recognized it.

It’s the floorplan of 10260 Bandley Drive, fondly “Bandley 1,” drawn January 30, 1978.  By me.  I haven’t seen this in perhaps thirty years.

There are twenty names listed and I know most of them:

  • Jobs, founder
  • Mike (Markkula), VP of Marekting
  • Gene (Carter) & Phil (Roybal), Sales department
  • Mike (Scott) & Gary (Martin), CEO and Finance
  • Sherry (Livingston), Cindy, & Eleanor, receptionists/secretaires
  • Jim (Martindale), Manufacturing
  • Dana (Redington), Marketing/Demo writer/programmer
  • Bill (Fernandez), lab tech
  • Dick & Cliff (Houston), hardware enigneers
  • Clive (Twyman), industrial designer
  • Wendell (Sanders) & Rod (Holt), analog engineers
  • Randy (Wigginton), software engineer
  • Woz

The building had four quadrants: Marketing/Admin, Engineering, Manufacturing, and a large empty space that we did not know what to do with when we moved in. That’s why it’s labeled “Tennis courts?”  Needless to say that within two months it was our warehouse, and within six we had leased a building across the street and the one next door to expand into.

“Advent” was not a religious sanctuary, it was the demo room with the $3,000 projection TV that we used for demos to Important People.

Hat tip to Louise for unearthing this document!

Update: Bill Fernandez identifies Clive Twyman as our first Industrial Designer. Hi, Bill!
