Do You Recognize These? Early Test & Measurement Tools

Aug. 17, 2022
There is no precision without feedback, and these early tools are among those that helped engineers optimize their creations.

This video is part of the Do You Recognize These series in the Electronic History section of our Series Library.

Precision is a goal that's hard to achieve without accurate feedback, and measurement tools are needed to provide that important information. 

This slideshow gallery presents some of the early test and measurement tools used in the past to capture, measure, and verify the performance of created products and systems. The ability to capture everything that can be known about a process is a relatively recent achievement; older systems weren't that powerful or functional. But they did their jobs well for the technology of their day.
