--- Quote from: free_electron on July 21, 2013, 06:35:41 am ---I just looked up itt on wikipedia. You need to read that. Those guys are huge , but virtually unknown to the masses. They even bought farnsworths tv business! They invented digital phone exchanges, pulse code modulation, fiber optics and all kinds of other stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITT_Corporation I knew the intermetall group well as i was a trainee in 1989 and the two successive years at Nokia in Finland (when i was in highschool i won a contest sponsored by Rotary. last-year students(18 years) from many schools had to make a practical project. I had made a satellite receiver based on a tuner from nokia salcomp(the metal can) , a 8051 ah basic and a rgb decoder TDA4550 i believe.. It could point the antenna and had an infrared remote control. I won first prize, which was 2 months as an intern during summer holidays in a company of you choice. I picked Nokia in finland. I spent three summers there. I was in Kemijarvi , just above the polar circle. 24 hour daylight). As an 18 year old i was tinkering with 40Ghz spectrum analyzers... Building digital satellite receivers (D2MAC )... When they just began designing with the digit2000 chips. A few years later Nokia acquired that group and fused it with their micronas group. They are today still in freiburg, germany where intermetall began. --- End quote --- Heavens Goodness , I Searched For ITT Multimeters and Here You Go .Bloody Hell Never New This .BTW You Know i Am In such a Country Where Doing Business And Importing Is a Big Big Issue .Very Often i Do Buy Old ITT Akka Chauvin Akka Metrix Aka BK Precision Multimeters And They are still spot on " Checked " With Voltage Standard DMM Check Plus .The Last One i Had I Sold That .These Things Are Heavy And Built Like Tanks .Thats Why i Was Saying On The Lighter Side That If You Do Indeed Have a Fight In The Lab You Know What Instrument You Can Use there Lol . |

Correction . I said itt knitter , but it is ITT Schadow that made switches together with ITT cannon. They are now c&k and alps. Knitter is a different company that still exists and ITT cannon still makes many connectors. A well known switch was the Digitast. A spring loaded pushbutton that had a unique property : it does not have contact bounce. You need to read the history of ITT. They basicaly were the grandfather of Alcatel , the system 12 phone exchange, that today is srill in production by alcatel. BTM is Bell Telephone Manufacturing in antwerp Belgium... They owned Avis , the hartford group , hotle chains. They did dirty work topplling and installing dictators, traded in arms, got sued by the government. Sheesh what a company ... |
