Baldwin began to venture beyond musical instruments in 1951 when the U.S. Army Signal Corp., recognizing that the company's technology could help in the pointing and tracking of radar antennas, contracted Baldwin to develop optical encoders using rotary code patterns. In 1953 Baldwin developed the first 16-bit divided circle machine, and in 1955 produced the first experimental optical encoders. With a new electronics market to service, Baldwin acquired American Radio and Television in Little Rock, Arkansas, which became the company's manufacturing center. By 1960 all coded disk manufacturing and personnel were transferred to Little Rock. In 1962 Baldwin's research resulted in an 18-bit optical encoder that was used in American Space flights. A year later the company produced the first optical encoder for space with LED light source. Also in 1963, the electronics division was incorporated as Baldwin Electronics, Inc., often referred to by its initials, BEI.
