Hewlett is best known as the co-founder of the Hewlett-Packard Company, which he started with his Stanford classmate David Packard in a garage in Palo Alto. The order of their names was determined by a coin toss. HP's first product was an audio oscillator based on a design developed by Hewlett when he was in graduate school.
