Cooperative SCALE - a company known mainly from the production of accessories and drafting aids.
including slide rules, The head office is located in Warsaw, in the district of Wola on Odolanch , ul.
Gizów 6th
SKALA (or SCALE) was created after World War II in 1950, based on the "St. Szymanski and K. Gypsy" company
established in 1929. The company, which dealt with the supply of equipment initially relying on imports,
slowly becoming a producer.
SKALA is now the only Polish manufacturer of compasses, technical and precise, and also produces
small and medium-sized plastic drawing instruments, especially for technical school workshops.
The president of the cooperative is Andrew Rowinski, and the company is currently engaged in manufacturing,
marketing and services, and has a network of company-owned stores.
See www.sp-skala.com.
Several of the SKALA slide rules have "ZAKt.im.dymitrowa Warszawa" or similar markings in the well. "Zaklady im. Dymitrowa" was a name of the manufacturing plant in Warsaw after the WWII. The factory was founded in the early 30s by an electrical engineer and manufactured electrical high-voltage control equipment. The communists nationalized the plant, expelled the owner (a capitalist, the "enemy of the people") and re-named the factory after a Bulgarian communist, George Dimitrov. The name had nothing in common with any manufacturing standards, communists named most of the factories after their heroes. |
