Hand Drawn Floor Plan of Apple's Headquarters in 1978

Chris Espinosa, one of Apple's first employees, recently found a hand drawn sketch of the company's floor plan at 10260 Bandley Drive, also called "Bandley 1." The floor plan was sketched by Espinosa on January 30, 1978.

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.

There are twenty names listed:
● 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


Take a look at the sketch below and compare it to Apple's future headquarters.
