[edit] History

Measurement Technology Ltd was conceived in April 1971 as a result of a cutback in the new-product design and development activities of a large instrument company. Many qualified staff with wide experience in different disciplines were suddenly available, and seven members of the team decided to start their own operation. They included the technical director, Ian Hutcheon (d. 2001); the chief electronics engineer, Chris Towle; the chief mechanical engineer, Edward Low; an electronics design engineer, Jacques Oudar; the technical publications manager of the design department and two skilled technicians.
