Atea's business went slow during World War I, and the company
virtually went broke. In
The product range was widened by starting up a division on measuring equipment (watt meters, voltmeters, etc) . They delivered measuring equipment as OEM products for Power plants, mines, ships….
In ATEA's 1926 catalogue "Appareils de Mesure Electrique" , we see the company manufactured also portable meters for use in laboratories and people in the field

The ATEA logo on my meter tells me this particular device was manufactured at the end of the 1920s.
By googling "ATEA" I came across a Dutch auction website, who offered this meter. It looked like nobody was really interested, and the seller responded enthousiastically to my bid. One problem : he lived in Breda, The Netherlands, and calculated a shipping cost within the Netherlands, and I live in Belgium. Finally we asked Carlos' son, who works in Breda, to pick up the meter.
