Elapsed time meters; miniature ampere hour meters ; Curtis started up in 1960 with fewer than 10 people working in a rented storefront in Mt. Kisco, 40 miles north of New York. The first Curtis products were electrochemical elapsed time indicators (ETIs). Their accuracy, reliability and ultra-low power consumption quickly made them the choice for recording use-time of diverse equipment. NASA built these Curtis ETIs into every major electronic system of Lunar Landing Modules, starting with the first moon landing in 1969. Continued use of these early ETIs confirms their engineering excellence. Years of research and development led to creation in 1988 of solid-state ETIs and counters with unprecedented reliability for rugged military applications. Curtis then adapted its technology to create the first solid-state hour meters and counters for commercial applications(from the company's web site: http://www.curtisinst.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=cCompany.dspHistory
