Heathkit computer wires
Heathkit H-1 computer wires, on display at the Computer History Museum, USA. The H-1 was the first home-build analogue computer. The museums collection includes over 3000 artefacts from 1945 to 1990. Established in 1996, the museum preserves and returns to working order, computers that have had a significant historical impact. The museum is due to be relocated, becoming part of the NASA Research Park, California, USA, in 2005

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of Heathkit computer wires, specifically the Heathkit H-1 computer wires. On display at the esteemed Computer History Museum in the United States, this particular model holds great historical significance as it was the first-ever home-built analogue computer. The Computer History Museum boasts an extensive collection of over 3000 artefacts spanning from 1945 to 1990. Established in 1996, its primary mission is to preserve and restore computers that have played a pivotal role in shaping our history. This dedication to reviving these technological marvels has allowed visitors to witness firsthand their significant impact on society. Originally located in California's Silicon Valley, this iconic museum is set for relocation within NASA Research Park in Mountain View, California by 2005. The move will ensure its continued contribution to science education and computing history. In this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, one can observe countless wires meticulously connecting various components of the Heathkit H-1 computer. These connections represent a crucial aspect of early analog technology and serve as a testament to American innovation during that era. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days when transistors were still emerging as groundbreaking inventions. It serves as a reminder not only of our progress but also of the importance of preserving our technological heritage for future generations.
