Series Description

Measurement and Analysis Systems, Incorporated (MAAS) was a short-lived American scientific instruments manufacturer and the corporate successor of Nuclide Corporation. Founded in 1986, MAAS acquired the assets of the bankrupt Nuclide Corporation in 1987. The new firm retained Leonard F. Herzog as Director of Technical Operations, hired most of the former Nuclide staff, and moved the former Nuclide operations to a facility in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. However, MAAS was unable to overcome the financial issues it inherited from Nuclide and filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 1991. It was subsequently acquired by Premier American Technologies in 1992.

This series contains Measurement and Analysis Systems, Incorporated's corporate records, which were collected and maintained by Leonard F. Herzog. The contents of this series document the history of MAAS from its founding to its Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The Measurement and Analysis Systems, Incorporated Files are arranged into the following six sub-series:

  1. Correspondence Files
  2. Legal Files
  3. Financial Files
  4. Customer Files
  5. Personnel Files
  6. Miscellaneous Files
