Description
"The increased awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide leaks have expanded the market for electronic gas detection meters. Fluke, the leading American manufacturer of electronic testing equipment invited BW Technologies of Calgary, Alberta to submit a proposal to develop a carbon monoxide measuring instrument for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning market. B.W. Technologies worked with the Calgary-based design firm Big Tool Box. In six months, using a three dimensional CAD system, they developed the product. A commercial success, BW and Big Tool Box are designing an entire electronic product line for Fluke Corporation. Awards: Silver, Design Effectiveness Awards, 1998"
