1988 saw Lenox develop the first furnace observation periscope with
a "Light Volume Control", a reliable motor iris system that eliminates
bloom in the video image when looking directly at flames in burners,
which may reach an internal temperature of 3,200 degrees F.

1989, Lenox receives the largest military contract for borescopes.
The scopes will be used to inspect turbines on C-130 Hercules, P3
aircraft and other U.S. NAVY planes. Working with the NAVY once again,
in 1996, Lenox develops scopes for real time monitoring of shipboard
boilers thus allowing for fuel conservation and a safer environment
by avoiding boiler explosions.
Lenox purchases the John Pultz Co. in 1998, a specialist in high-temp
video systems. Units are installed worldwide, primarily in the steel
industry.

Lenox instruments are in use every day! In the power generation field
for inspecting steam turbines, heat exchangers, tubing, and pressure
vessels. They are employed in the aviation field, ensuring that the
engines of jumbo jets have not developed any defects, checking the
quality of helicopter blades or rotor shafts. Our scopes peer into
modern nuclear reactors, they inspect the tubing in oil refineries,
pharmaceutical plants, and chemical facilities. Lenox scopes increase
safety, productivity and quality through their many applications.
Lenox has, or will develop a product for your special needs!
