This company, dating from 1904, was the predecessor to Ekstrom, Carlson & Co. A book on the history of that company says that piano-action machinery was the mainstay of Redin Ekstrom from 1910-1930. Steinway & Sons was still using Redin Ekstrom machinery in 1972, although the machines have apparently been replaced since then.
