As we continue to work our way through our archive of photos, we run across some that are a bit out of the ordinary.  They may be humorous or unique but they stand out from the other photos. We will post new photos here monthly with the previous photos in the slideshow.

Our November Photo of the Month shows the April photo from the 1965 Tektronix Calendar. This calendar featured paintings by Portland artist Paget Loomis of various Tektronix processes and technologies. Our 2025 vintageTEK calendar commemorates the 60th anniversary of this 1965 calendar with the pictures and descriptions from the 1965 publication.

This painting is an imaginary view of the ceramic CRT funnel mold as it is being immersed in water inside the isostatic press and is our 2025 vintageTEK calendar April photo.

Each 1965 calendar page had a tear-off pocket calendar with more background information of the painting. Portions of these descriptions are added to the photos in our 2025 vintageTEK calendar.

This is an enlargement of the April 1965 description.
