History: |
Kay Electric Company was founded in 1948 by Elmo Edward “Bud” Crump and a partner. They initially manufactured radio-TV service instrumentation. Its production included high-frequency variable attenuators, noise generators and sweep generators, from audio to UHF. They incorporated as a closely-held private corporation in 1970 under the name Kay Elemetrics Corporation. Later in the 1970's, their focus changed to more medical related products, including speech analysis instrumentation to complement the widely used Sona-Graph. They were acquired in 2005 by the PENTAX Medical Company and became a Division named KayPENTAX. sources: |
