KBK update for Saturday, 22nd December
- Patents page updated with the Western Electric crosspoint patents from 1930s, as found on the Deskthority wiki.
- Hi-Tek Dovetail Series brochure scan uploaded; this is one of the Hi-Tek documents that I arranged with Susan Kennedy (who was in charge of marketing at Hi-Tek) to get sent to Benjamin Rockwell. This document solves the mystery of Cherry’s “W/E Alloy #1” by giving the manufacturer name in full: “Western Electric #1”.
- Switch materials page uploaded, initially covering just Western Electric #1; Cherry pages referencing “W/E #1” are updated accordingly.
- Updated the switch types page with two more foam and foil examples (Key Tronic and BTC) as well as ITW’s patent for a shell with alternative sensing options.
