Teledyne Post

Teledyne Post

Teledyne Post was a company formed (circa 1970) by the acquisition of The Frederick Post Company of Chicago, Illinois, which had been originally founded in the 1890s. [cite web |work=Tolhorst Slide Rules |title=Post Versalog II 1460 |url=http://www.toddtolhurst.com/sliderules/post1460.html] Teledyne Post was based in Des Plaines, Illinois, and like its predecessor was dedicated to the manufacture and sale of drafting, engineering and surveying supplies and equipment. By 1972, the Frederick Post brand name disappeared. Teledyne Post continued to operate until late 1992 but, as many other companies of its type, it eventually went the way of the horse and buggy with the advent of computer-based drawing technologies such as CAD/CAM.
