Alnor Instrument Co (originally called Illinois Testing Laboratories) started in 1919 in Chicago, Illinois as a repair and service center for precision instrumentation. The Alnor Pyrometer was the first instrument to be marketed. In 1920, manufacturing and sales rights were purchased for the Crit Point Instrument; in 1930, the Price Instrument and Pyrometer Company was acquired; in 1934, the manufacturing rights and patent for a line of instruments for detection of contraband material was purchased. These instruments, such as the Electronic Eye and Metal Detector, were used across the country in penal institutions.
