![]() HAL 9000, more commonly called "HAL", became operational at the HAL plant in Urbana, Illinois, on January 12, 1992. ![]() The HAL ( Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic Computer) 9000 computer is an artificial intelligence and the onboard computer on the spaceship Discovery One. LENS FONT DOWNLOAD (HAL_Engraving_PDF_Rev.2)Ĥ.Prototype label restored (by A.P.) DOWNLOAD (1:1 High Res. You can download it here and print it 1:1, cut it out and put it around your lens~ Then, I took photos of each word on the lens, made some lens correction to reduce the distortion and scaled & repositioned them on the circumference of the lens-ring (with Photoshop) Put it in a SolidWorks drawing and read off the radian measures. I measured the engraving and the distances between each word on the curved surface of the original NIKKOR lens. Here the engraving on the outer lens ring (with correct font and spaces) That’s also why the inside components of the lens are missing (either I didn’t have any information or because I mainly used components, which I had already lying around … see below) (For example: The splitting of the housing in outer and inner ring) Some marked dimensions and the setup of the three rings are just proposals or the way I manufactured them. (If someone has got or could get precise measurements, I’d really like to update possible inaccuracies) You can download the high-res lens drawing (aluminum ring, outer- & inner ring) here. Try your luck finding this original grid! IF YOU HAVE SEEN AN AUDIO DEVICE WITH THIS GRID, PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY!! :lol It is possible, that the whole grill was tailored, so that the general size doesn't have to fit 100%, as long the spacing and arrangement of the holes does.Īfter many hours/days of research on the internet, I nearly saw every transistor radio from 1960 to 1964 D but no luck finding this damn grid :\ The holes are arranged rectangular (maybe due to the corrugated surface).Īnd arranged in a straight pattern (not shifted) It is made of thin sheet metal and it seems to be bent on the edges. The grid is corrugated (horizontally or vertical and rotated by 90deg), not smooth. (Principal photography began December 29, 1965, in Stage H at Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, England) The grid is from an audio device, which was produced before Dec. etc.īesides the measurements, I have following information: The grill probably belongs to a radio (maybe a transistor radio) or to another audio device such as a speaker, walkie talkie, cassette recorder. I tried to find the original audio device from where the grid was taken by following these criteria: Sold for £17,500/$27,615 (seems to be authentic enough for me D)ĭOWNLOAD (High-Res HAL Prototype-Picture) So I decided to refer (only -> see Edit) on screenshots from the original movie (Blu-Ray)Įdit : During my research I came to the conclusion to refer also on the Prototype HALĮxcept of the panels height and the replaced speaker grid, all other dimensions including the worn out “HAL | 9000” label do fit the dimensions from the screen-used panel. There was also one panel shown in an exhibition but it also had differences (proportion, different lens (f=7,5mm), number of holes in the speaker grid). I saw the one from the auction some years ago but it clearly had different proportions. final 1:1 full aluminum HAL 9000 panelįirst of all I needed as much detailed pictures of the HAL panel as possible.Īs far as I know there is no screen used panel left from the movie. I'd like to present to you my own HAL 9000 panel project and research, based strictly on the panel shown in Kubrick’s 2001: Space Odyssey and on some facts and research from this forum (especially on the Nikkor lens.
