Paul Beckman Company, Inc. PBC was founded in 1984 by Paul Beckman and three active investment partners. Previously, Mr. Beckman had been the president and founder of High Temperature Instruments Corporation HTI which gained renown for its innovations in instrumentation for hostile environments. The first of these was the HT freefilament strain gauge, still in use throughout the world, which was invented by Mr. Beckman in 1955 and patented by him in 1960. HTI made numerous contributions to hightemperature and cryogenic measurement technology in its 15year history, including several to the historic Apollo program in the 1960s. This work included instrumentation for Apollos heat shield and rocketengine development programs. Mr. Beckman also invented the Radially Activated Thermocouple along with Robert P. Benedict. This innovation is described in Mr. Benedicts book, Fundamentals of Temperature, Pressure, and Flow Measurements Wiley, an indispensible resource which is still in use as a college engineering text and a mainstay reference for engineers worldwide.
