TEKSYM

Gauges were constructed by Russell Smith of Lawson Hall Laboratories through 2008. Hartman sold many sizes of KRAK GAGE and Fractomat Conditioner through his company, Hartrun Corporation up to the early 2000's at which time he transferred exclusive ownership of Hartrun and the KRAK GAGE sales to Bob Churchill. In 2009, Teksym Corporation began production of the standard Krak Gages for Hartrun plus new gauge configurations designed for composite materials and structures testing. In 2014, Bob Churchill passed away but left no provision for continuation of the KRAK GAGE or Fractomat. Neither Churchill or other people associated with the manufacture or use of the Fractomat were interested in providing continuation of the Hartrun business or products. Teksym Corporation having used only internal resources for producing the gauges, decided to continue offering them directly to the marketplace under the name Crack Gauge. ****
