<DIV>Hi Scott:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, that looks like the manual I have. A very fair price if someone
needs one. Copying or scanning this would be a considerable task as many
of the pages are 11x17 foldouts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My impression of the company during the time that these were made was
that Microtime was a company created to utilize some of the technology that the
parent company, Andersen Laboratories, manufactured. I believe Andersen
made the delay lines that were used in the TBC's. Perhaps Bill can
shed some additional light on this.</DIV>

<DIV>Fascinating story. I started tracing the company and it appears that
whatever was left was sold to Avid. (Along with Pinnacle, DF/X, Dubner)</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Hi Don & Everyone,<BR><BR>I spec'ed that unit in
early 71, and entered into a contract with Andersen to build it,
on which they delivered a prototype in late 71, may be Nov, and then
the fun started. It did not work, got rejected, contract into default,
litigation began, gave depsitions, recommended how much for our
president to pay them to " Go Away", end of Andersen File.<BR><BR>I
