RFL Industries was still operating in 1969 out of Boonton N.J. and 
sprung from Radio Frequency Laboratories which was formed in 1922. I 
don't know what time period elapsed before RFL Industries was formed. At 
that time ( in 1969) RFL Inds. occupied 55,000 sq.ft. in Boonton and a 
smaller components division in Vermont.

The instrumentation and thermocouple division marketed an equipment 
family in continuous evolution and refinement for over 20 years. what 
did they make?

Magnet chargers and Treaters
Automagnetic test & measurement systems
Gaussmeters
portable magnetometers
meter calibrators
Proportional controllers
Temperature meters
Precision potentiometers

Their literature says, "since 1922: so when did they fold?

I sold many of their meter calibrators to the Can. military and Outboard 
Marine used their magnet chargers to magnetize the magneto for outboard 
motors.  Most chargers required sophisticated jigs .
