New finds... information wanted

I've managed to pick up a pair of "Atomic Instrument Company" Model
1091's from Purdue yesterday. They were manufactured in 1962, and the
reason that I claim that they're on-topic is because they 'count'.

Googling for "Atomic Instrument Company" brings back a grand total of
three results... nothing that looks useful. Does anyone know anything
about the company or where a schematic could be found?

These are the first things i've brought home that use a set of vacuum
tubes (thermionic valves for those on the other side of the pond) to
count.

Really neat.

I've put up a pair of blurry pictures of its front (I don't have access to
good lighting at the moment...) on my web site:

Warning: the pictures have a large resolution, but are only about 80kB in
size.
