From the Vault: BuildIT 1912

January 2, 2013 BuildIT

BuildIT has a long and rich history of providing advanced metrology solutions.  In searching through our archive, we found a very rare 1912 edition of Build!IT nestled in amidst the planimeters and drafting machines, and we would like to share our discovery of this then cutting-edge solution with you today.

Now and Then

While the technology surrounding metrology has grown in leaps and bounds, the basics haven’t changed all that much in the past 100 years.  Build!IT 1912* still shares a lot of common ground with our latest version Build!IT 3.2.5**.  Join us as we take a stroll down memory lane, and take a look at Build!IT 1912 Edition:
