They're neat, and historically very important. One showed up on
eBay a few months ago; it went for serious bucks, so apparently some
people know about the model.

Systems was an electronics test tool builder in Solana
Beach, CA ('bout half an hour north of San Diego). I don't recall
when it was formed by Andrew Kay (probably the 50's or even
earlier), but it created the first digital voltmeter in the early
60's. It was a very inventive company.
The radio museum here received one of what I believe was that first
DVM from
NLS (circa mid-50's), something of an historic model.
It disappeared before I had a chance to look at in depth or work on
it.
