Weather Instruments and Timing Equipment - Rowing Equipment, Wind and Weather Meters

Description

Richard Kellerman and Paul Nielsen established NK in 1978. Richard was working as a Physical Chemist at Xerox Inc., when Coach Ted Nash recruited him to devise a product that would simplify the coxswain's many jobs on the river.

With the collaboration of Paul Nielsen, an associate from Xerox Inc., Richard Kellerman was convinced that he could create one unit to combine the tasks of an amplifier/stroke meter/timer to simplify the coxswain's job. The idea to create a Cox-Box ® amplifier came to Richard after watching a coxswain run his crew into a bridge during a regatta.

In 1984, NK expanded their product line to include the original StrokeCoach ® stroke meter, designed for scullers and straight boats so that they, too, could know their stroke rate and time. Following the success of the StrokeCoach ® , NK designed the Chronostroke™ rate and stop watch for rowing coaches, and developed and manufactured the original monitor for the Concept II rowing machine.
