B&O HISTORY. 1952. "RESPIRATOR" At the end of 1952 Denmark experienced a widespread polio epidemic. At the same time, Bang & Olufsen engineer N.H. Nielsen was admitted to hospital in Skive, where he met a young doctor called Claus Bang who was working to improve conditions for polio patients. When Claus found out that his patient worked for Bang & Olufsen he explained his idea for making a mechanical solution for controlling the breathing of polio patients, which until then had to be done manually by squeezing a rubber bladder. N.H. Nielsen involved B&O toolmaker Kaj Nielsen, who made the first valves, and when the doctor was convinced that the solution could work he approached B&O about a co-operation and offered it a licence to use the invention. The first respirator developed by Bang & Olufsen was a significant contribution to later developments in respiratory assistance. Found this interesting?

B&O HISTORY. 1931. "THE PREGNANT B" The Bang & Olufsen logo was designed by a sixteen-year old painter's apprentice called Henning Dahl-Mikkelsen (Mik). Mik grew up to be a famous cartoonist and was the creator of the worlds must distributed comic strips, "Ferd'nand". One day Mik cycled to the factory, left his clogs outside, and asked to speak to the manager. 'I've designed a trademark'. He only wanted 5 kroner for the design, but Svend Olufsen liked it so much he gave him 10 kroner. I think this logo is iconic and extremely timeless. What do you think?
