Timeline of AGICO


Geofyzika, State Company, predecessor of AGICO
Early sixties Development of the first model of the Spinner Magnetometer (JR-1) by Vit Jelinek.
Mid-sixties Development of the first model of the Kappabridge (KLY-1) by Vit Jelinek.
Late sixtiesInnovation of JR-1 Spinner Magnetometer to JR-2 model (Vit Jelinek). Development of the KLY-2 Kappabridge (Vit Jelinek)
Early seventiesStart of commertial manufacturing of Spinner Magnetometers and Kappabridges. Upgrading of Spinner Magnetometer to JR-4 Model (Zdenek Hulka).
Late eightiesDevelopment of JR-5A Spinner Magnetometer equipped with automatic sample holder (Petr Suza, Jiri Pokorny).
Early ninetiesDevelopment of PUM-1 Pulse Magnetizer (Vit Jelinek, Petr Suza, Jiri Pokorny). Development of KLY-3S Kappabridge equipped with spinning sample holder (Vit Jelinek, Petr Suza, Jiri Pokorny). Development of CS-2 Furnace Apparatus for measurement (in unison with Kappabridge) of temperature variation of susceptibility (Jan Parma, Petr Suza, Jiri Pokorny).
