NEWS RELEASE
Message from the CEO
San Diego, CA, June 2009 –
We have two stunning announcements to make concerning
our 1140 series Thermocouple Simulator-Calibrators. First and foremost,
we won THE CONTRACT with the U.S. Air Force to supply our Model 1140
as the standard thermocouple simulator-calibrator for use in all Air Force
calibration labs around the world! We won over all competitive simulators
because “Ectron has the best Thermocouple Simulator-Calibrator
available”. Because they insisted on a dual battery-operated/ac
model we are currently modifying the Model 1140A to become the new
Model 1140B.
And when we ship the first model at the end of September, it will be
the Air Force’s standard for both thermocouple and dc operation.
This $500,000 PLUS contract was big news and will help us achieve
standardization with another branch of our U.S. Armed Forces. We will
advise when the Model 1140B will be ready for the rest of the
world which will be before year end.
Also, in June the U.S. Navy awarded us a National Stock Number for
the Model 1140A. It is 7Z 6625-01-573-6135. Naval Inventory Control
Point (N35) is source of supply for this item. This will be good news for
MIL, DOD, aerospace, and other subcontractors since it makes it easy to buy
the 1140A.
With these two giant steps the Ectron 1140 Series has become the de facto
standard in the industry for this class of product.
Sincerely,
E. Earl Cunningham, President and CEO
