I knew Foxboro was old but didn't realize they were founded in 1908. I
remember working on pneumatic controls from Foxboro that were date coded
in the 1930's. This was in 1972-4 time frame at Anderson-Clayton Foods
in Sherman, TX. This was a vegetable oil refinery that closed in
2001-02 after being sold around 5-6 times since 1984..

I don't know a lot about Foxboro, I believe they were a spin-off or startup
company in the 60s that were early entrants into the (then small and
state-of-the-art) area of computer-based real-time process-control for large
industrial plants. They are one of those names you don't run across much unless
you run in those circles.
