The Hoboken Historical Museum presents an Exhibit of Hoboken's Keuffel & Esser Made Instruments
K&E, the initials carved into the roofline of the building at the corner of Third & Adams, are the only visible trace of a company that played a significant role in America's phenomenal age of discovery and growth. Keuffel & Esser, a precision engineering instrument manufacturer that was based in Hoboken from 1870 to 1968, provided the tools that explorers and builders relied on for expeditions to the North Pole and across the American continents and for such engineering marvels as the Brooklyn Bridge and Panama Canal. It also created jobs for thousands of Hoboken residents, including many of the German immigrants who shared the heritage of the company's founders, William J.D. Keuffel and Hermann Esser.
And anyone who remembers using a slide rule for complex calculations can thank K&E for popularizing the tool, its best-selling item among the thousands in its catalog. In over 90 years of operations in Hoboken, K&E’s rapid growth matched the expansion of the nation's industrial base. It became the leading purveyor of tools and instruments used by engineers, surveyors, and the military, selling more than 10,000 items from nearly 300,000 square feet of office and factory space in Hoboken. Examples of many of these instruments will be on display in the Museum's Main Gallery starting Sunday, Jan. 31, with the opening reception from 2 - 5 p.m., for Surveying the World: Keuffel & Esser + Hoboken, 1870 - 1968.
