Instron

Instron is a maker of material-testing equipment.

In 1946, Harold Hindman and George Burr, who worked together at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), teamed up to determine the properties of new materials to be used in parachutes. Together, they designed a material testing machine based on strain gauge load cells and servo-control systems. This led to the formation of Instron Engineering Corporation.
