=Notes From [[John Addis]]=
Building maps changed over the years, leading to more than one building having a given name.


A June 4, 1963 color map shows the following building numbers and locations that conflict with the later building numbers:
* [[Building 76]] is the Portland Field Office
* [[Building 91]] is Purchasing and Professional Placement on 2nd between Washington and Hall (then Rt. 217)
* [[Building 92]] is Photography and Films in the Cedar Hills shopping center
* [[Building 93]] is Credit Union, NE corner of Watson and 1st St
* [[Building 94]] is probably an employment building near the NE corner of 114th Ave and Canyon Rd.
* [[Building 95]] is Employment the SE corner of 1st and Main
* [[Building 97]] is Educational Training and Personnel Services NE corner of Canyon Rd and Mill St
* [[Building 98]] is Employee Relations SW corner of Main St and 1st
In the 1950s and 1960s,
* Tektronix had the phone number MI(tchell) 4-0161
* Tekronix Sunset was CY(press) 2-2611
* Employment was MI 4-0146
Y probably stands for “Yearout”.
I suspect that all Y buildings are near each other, implying Griffith Drive, Beaverton
Names of several of these buildings come from pp 183-198 of the November 1979 Comm. Directory.
I attempt to give coordinates for the “center of mass” of the building rather than the entrance.
[[Doug Taylor]] has questioned the coordinates of 08.

Thanks to  Gerrit deVries for Guernsey buildings:
* Building 1 (La Villiaze 1, Manufactuing 1963)
* Building 2 (La Villiaze 2, European Marketing Center)
Many of the original buildings are identified on a November 1975 map, property of Murlan Kaufman,
and checked against a Google Earth map of July, 1990.
Others are from my map in the November 1979 Tektronix Phone Directory.
Tekweek of Jan 18, 1974 contains the schedule of a shuttle bus listing some buildings by name not found elsewhere,
notably “Lehman” and “Cedar Hills”.
There were two shuttle buses running in opposite directions with the same twenty stops.
A complete cycle took one hour.
