Ashcroft Inc., Stratford, Conn., celebrates its 160th anniversary in 2012. The
company was founded in 1852, when the burgeoning use of steam power led Edward Ashcroft
to produce his first revolutionary "Bourdon tube" pressure gauge. With
the growing need for accurate and reliable instrumentation, Ashcroft gauges soon
became a staple on board steam ships, railroad locomotives and in industries throughout
North America.
