 Re: When was the 3rd octave key introduced?

This is from Nora Post's website in a 1982 interview with Nigel Clark of Howarth:

"
NP: How about third octave keys on thumbplate systems?

NC: They don't go together particularly well. Very few people have both; most use semi-automatic octaves here. When we make instruments for export we normally have a third octave--except to America, where third octave isn't standard yet. Of course, Lorée hasn't been a great exponent of third octave, where Marigaux has been; Marigaux invented the third octave.
"

I think 30 years after this interview, the 3rd octave key is pretty standard on oboes purchased in the US but I've really never needed it. Most of the oboes I've used over the past 30 years have had 3rd octave keys but my current oboe (Laubin) does not; my back-up oboe does (Howarth XL).
