The Westinghouse KX241 was designed to harness technological breakthroughs that would allow the meter to achieve peak reliability and performance for both military and commercial applications. It was a rousing success. The meter performed to all the industry expectations and standards, resulting in a wide dispersal of the unit over a vast range of applications, particularly in marine environments.
The problem however, is that the KX241’s heyday was a long ways away from 2019—some 40 to 50 years. Technology, like time, only moves forward, and unfortunately the KX241 has befallen an all too familiar fate: relegation to the bleak and obscure realm of analog obsolescence. What was efficient, practical, and innovative back then is now outdated, unreliable, and obsolete today. The industry has moved past the KX241.
