According to a book I've got, A Dr. E. Marcus formed Exos Inc. and began
marketing the Dextrous Hand Master under licence from Arthur D. Little, Inc.
The book, The Science of Virtual Reality and Virtual Environments by R.S.
Kalawsky, Addison-Wesley, has a good description of the DHM.

This might help.
