I said North Carolina before but it should have been South Carolina where
AIE was located. Yes Batesburg was the city.
I think that he worked on a service monitor of his own that never really got
off the ground. I don't know if he sold any or not.
He later bought out the Singer Instruments service monitor, I think it was
an FM100. That didn't go very far either as it was too expensive to build.
Same reason Singer abandoned it.
Motorola did have a bunch of the GAW two tone generators in their paging
plant in Ft.Lauderdale. They also bought a pot load of the AIE two tone
generators from me around 1984.

Just about the time Detwiller came out with that service monitor (SM-
512) based on a Bearcat BC-210xlt, AIE sent us a flyer introducing a
similar product under the Measurements name. From what I remember, it
was a rectangular box like a CE-50 and based on a mobile scanner using
LED bar graph displays instead of meters. Batesburg, Va. Wasn't it?
Never heard anything about them after that.

Hi Tony,
Yes I remember them! They had some similar products to what Helper
Instruments built and Automated Industrial electronics (AIE) run by
Tony
Crady in North Carolina. AIE later bought out the remains of the
Measurements Corp.
As I remember GAW did private label some products for Motorola for
awhile
and may have had their name on them in the Motorola catalog for
awhile.

From what I remember, Norman Gaw was an ex engineer of the
Measurement Corp, Boonton, NJ or one of the other Boonton companies.
I still might have some product info in my library (hello Gary
Shafer
remember them?). Do you need more light?
Ciao, Tony, K3WX

Does anyone know what the background of GAW was? There wasn't a
shop that I worked in that didn't have one of the Sinad/Distortion
analyzers or the two tone generator that also was sold under the
Motorola name. IIRC, there was also a small power supply with a
hair trigger current trip/disconnect for pagers and handhelds that
also was rebadged as a Motorola TEK product. I've heard two
stories. One was the Galvin family owned the product line and
another was that it was a private venture by an employee and
distributed through the Moto network.
Can anyone shed any light on this and what other products they
made? I don't believe that I've ever seen any of these units sold
on E-bay or through private sales although they were pretty
ubiquitous. From what I remember, the construction quality was
similar to kit grade rather then a professionally assembled
product.
