General Radio Company (later, GenRad) was a broad-line manufacturer of electronic test equipment. Started in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1915 by Melville Eastham, the company moved to West Concord in the 1950s. There, it became a major player in the automatic test equipment (ATE) business, manufacturing a line of testers for assembled printed circuit boards. It also produced extensive lines of electrical component measuring equipment, sound and vibration measurement and RLC standards.
The classic GenRad instrument line including RLC standards and decades, Digibridges, LCR meters, megohmmeters, stroboscopes, and sound level meters continues to be manufactured and supported by IET Labs, Inc. in West Roxbury, MA.
