I picked up an old Teltronix oscilloscope model 585. I didn't realize until I got it home that it had calibration stickers
on both the scope itself, and the plugin attached. Well, imagine my surprise when I noticed the tags both said
"Fowler Industries Inc, Port Jervis, New York." The last calibration date on both tags were from mid 1989.
It's possible this scope was used by Fowler tech's to calibrate R-390's in it's repair or manufacture. They did
two calibrations a year on scope and plugin. The tags are stamped aluminum with the company name and
address, and dates were filled in on spaces provided for on the tags in what appears to be pencil.
Well, I don't have a Fowler made R-390, but now I do have a peice of factory equipment they were using in their factory.
Neat...I thought you guy's might have found that interesting...I was going to remove the tags when I saw them. Not now!
