[BC] Equipment Hall Of Fame: 111-c Repeat Coils...

[Dave [Grandhorn Acct]]

I'll give all three of those my vote.  I just found a good old 111c in a
drawer by my desk of all places.......must have been there for a while!  I
still use my Simpson every so often.

I'll nominate the Bird Model 43 "Thruline" wattmeter,  a simple, but
reliable and effective design.  Invented over 50 years ago, patented
in 1958, they've sold more than a quarter-million units.   Although
the classic 43 is based on old-fashioned "analog" technology, sales
are of new units are anything but "sluggish" (sorry) -- and even the
old beat-up units retain their value.
