Modern Photography's Exposure Meter Directories

Every so often Modern Photography magazine would publish a table of commercially available exposure meters, usually compiled by David L. Miller. They're useful now for collectors in identifying the age and specs of some of these old meters. Please note that all this info comes from those magazine charts, are not necessarily accurate, fully detailed, etc., or I may have mis-keyed something when I typed it here.
Name: sorted alphabetically by maker then model as listed in the original charts (except Sekonic and Weston, which I sort by model number). Also, in cases where an importer's name was added to a famous make (e.g. Honeywell Pentax or Bell & Howell/Canon), I listed the meter details under the maker's name and a cross-reference note under the Importer's name. Links go to my collection page for that meter.
Type: Primary type (before accessories or options) R = reflected; I = incident; S = spot; F = flash; C = color temp O = other — see notes.
Orig: Country of origin (of the brand, not necessarily the meter itself). E=England; EG=East Germany; F=France; J=Japan; R=Russia or USSR; S=Switzerland; US=USA; WG=West or unified Germany; blank=unknown.
Cell: CdS = Cadmium Sulfide; SB = Silicon Blue; Sel = Selenium; O = Other—see notes.
E.I.: Minimum and maximum exposure index range (usually ASA) on the calculator dial
Shutter: Minimum and maximum shutter speed range on the calculator dial. Times are in seconds unless otherwise noted.
ƒ/number: Minimum and maximum ƒ/stop on the calculator dial
FPS: Frames per second calculations for cine-compatible meters. Lists the upper and lower limit.
AoV: Angle of View (where known)—what the meter reads, not necessarily the view (important on spot meters).
Notes: EV = exposure value system (see EV System); Polaroid = Polaroid number scale.
Price: In US dollars as printed in the magazine. Most likely manufacturer's suggested retail price at that time.
Date: earliest month and year this appeared in the magazine (or other source). Items were the "date" is missing are meters that I own but which do not appear on the available lists. Sources: Minicam Photography—Aug 1948; Modern Photography—August 1953, June 1955, July 1957 through 1972, 1974, 1975, 1978 through 1980; Jan 1988; B&H Photo catalog—2008.
