In a notable 'testing success story' reported to Cropico, the model KB1 Kelvin bridge ohmmeter that Vernon Fuse bought in 1953 and used every day for over 50 years was still working perfectly
Not only that, but now surplus to current requirements, the Kent company have sold the instrument to an associate fuse manufacturing company in Asia, where it will continue in the same role of accurately testing the resistance of fuses to BS1362 Kitemark standard.
Having no product data sheet for the KBI, Vernon approached Cropico and was reportedly impressed by the after-sales service.
Within 15 minutes a copy was found to accompany the instrument for perhaps another 50 years or more service.
