Triplett is a well-know
name amongst electronics technicians and engineers who have been in the business
for any length of time. Triplett meter movements (aka panel meters) were considered
to be top-of-the-line product in the days before digital meters and displays. They
were used in industrial instrumentation, in military equipment, and in amateur radio
gear. Triplett is still in business today but it appears they no longer sell just
meter movements, although there is a large supply (new and used) available on eBay
and Ham radio websites and swap meets. This advertisement for Triplett Thin-Line
Instruments appeared in the September 1942 edition of Radio Retailing Today
magazine.
