It was this article which stimulated my interest in Avometers to another level. Interesting as it is, it contains several inaccuracies concerning model details and dates of introduction, such as the introduction of the HRM and HR2.
Through extensive research, especially of advertisements and reviews in the trade press, more accurate dates have been found, at least for the commercial availability of particular instruments.
In fairnes to the author, I suspect that he had limted time to write the article to meet a deadline for a particular event and had to rely on the information to hand at the time.
