About 30 years ago, experiments began to confirm the hypothesis that protons (and the other hadrons) could be treated as composites of much smaller ‘point–like’ elements. Electron–proton scattering experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center played a prominent role in the shifting view of hadron structure. In this paper, I have tried to convey some flavour of our experimental efforts and our interactions with theorists both before and during the experiments.
