We at Experimental Physics (myself, Hugh Hyatt and Hugh Calvin) were attempting to prove the waveform for an ESD project to DEC, Maynard Mass. Their consultant, Michael King, was using a crude target (nicknamed the ski-sled because of its structure) which we objected to. DEC asked us to design a target with better performance so we produced the coaxial target which was attempting to maintain coaxial impedance using the carbon comp resistors. The one finally chosen by us was one of about 10 designs we came up with! and it performed much better that the rest. The target eventually ended up at an IEC meeting and for some strange reason, unknown even to Dr. Pelligrini himself, was nicknamed the Pelligrini target. This target was offered for sale by us from 1980 to 1982, then Electrometrics from 1982 onweards (after they bought out the product line from Experimental Physics) and eventually offered by all other ESD gun manufacturers.
