Scintrex is like a tree with two main roots and many branches. The oldest root dates back to 1946, when Edgar Sharpe, an inventive mechanical instrument designer, set up a machine shop to produce fine mechanical instruments and components. Through his association with Dr. Arthur Brant, then Professor of Geophysics at the University of Toronto, he designed and built a vertical force magnetometer. This young company, then known as Sharpe Instruments Limited, grew over the years, producing a number of innovative, mechanical magnetometers, several electrical measuring devices and electromagnetic systems, for the purposes of mineral exploration. Sharpe Instruments also acquired the technology of a quartz element gravity meter and started to produce it. In 1961, the company went public under the name of E.J. Sharpe Instruments of Canada Ltd.
