The examples we have seen are in a box labeled, "Taper Micrometer Corporation / Division of T. M. Electronics, Inc. / 100 Grove Street / Worcester, Massachusetts". See also patents 3,230,630 and 3,327,399.The inventor died 2008-07-20 at age 100. The Worcester Telegram's obituary of him, from August 2, reveals him to have led an interesting life. He was born in Ukraine in 1908. In the late 1940s he used his mattress manufacturing business to smuggle small arms to Israel. He was also an inventor, pilot, nudist, dowser, bee-keeper, philatelist, hypnotist, and watch repairman. |
