What is the mystical 4014?
One of, no, THE most common question we get asked is 'Why 4014'... where did these numbers come from? Well, to keep the conspiracy-nuts happy, here're a few ideas to ponder on. The 4014 'house' image just appeared after I wrote the numbers out in a hundred different ways, looking for an unusual, recognisable logo. So there you go.
The Big Boy 4014 was one of the 25 largest trains built. In early forties Utah, these beasts
of the railway operated through the Wasatch Mountains. Over 21 years, the 4014 clocked
up more than a million miles. Only eight survive today, including the 4014, which is on show
In the world of fashion, the Burberry 4014 sunglasses are currently on the market for around £140. With an acetate frame in either black or brown, they were recently modelled by Kate Moss.
The Tektronix 4014 was released in 1974, and was the first computer terminal to feature a
Direct View Bistable Storage Tube, perfect for drawing vectors and CAD images. The unique
command set featured on the 4014 model became a standard which is found in today's PC's.

According to Doctronics, "The 4014 is a fully synchronous 8-bit shift register with eight
parallel inputs (P0-P7), a serial data input (DS), a LOW to HIGH edge-triggered clock input (CP) and parallel
outputs from the last three stages (O5-O7)." I think that's something to do with a circuitboard.
