Fact
File:
"The original Romer was invented by Lieutenant Carrol Romer of the First Army’s
Maps and Printing Section of the Royal Engineers in the First World War. The Lieutenant, who was a barrister in his civilian
days, was born in 1883 and died in 1951. His invention, printed on cardboard, was first used on the Army’s 1:40,000
scale maps of the Northern France battlefields. The device was first referred to as ‘a romer’ in the Geographical
Journal of 1933."
The
Basic Roamer© series was designed many years ago by the gentleman Tony Reynolds. He realised the need for a device
that was both compact and at the same time remained accurate within it's working environment. His original design passed through many stages of development, he listened
and gathered enthusiastic information from his friends and indeed many competitors that had been introduced to his
then, latest version. Even a laminated model was introduced but this proved inconsistent and suffered from an inherent twist.
So, after wearing out yet another drawing board Tony persevered until this, the MkV was born. And of course, a clever play on the name ensured that copyright's remain
unaffected!

The Company
We have been interested in starting our own Company
for many years and are excited to finally have reached that goal. Taking our business to the web makes the process even more
exciting.
What is a Basic Roamer?
Well, predominantly it is a device that enables the user to carry out various functions when used in conjunction
with any 1:50,000 scale map worldwide. The "bread & butter" scale found on it's North East corner will
enable the user to work out and "plot" an accurate six figure (100m sq) or eight figure (10m sq) map reference in seconds.
(see Tuitional)Indeed the Roamer5 boasts over 20 separate
features many of which, including the above, are explained in our features page.
Following a unique printing
stage, every Roamer travels through a hand finishing process thus adding to the infamous accuracy found only with
this particular product.
Measuring just 120 x 64mm (5km to scale in length, 2 miles deep)
