| RESEARCH AND TESTING EQUIPMENT We have pleasure to enclose a copy of our leaflet describing the "STROBORET" type "R", a perusal of which we trust will be of interest to you. The "Stroboret" is an extremely handy and practical machine, combining as it does, the functions of a SPEED-RECORDER; SYNCHRONISER; and STROBOSCOPE, in one. It is one of the very few pieces of apparatus which not only gives great accuracy as a speed counter, but at the same time records the speed on a graduated dial, the reading remaining constant until the next setting. Where synchronisation is concerned the "Stroboret" is indispensable, and as a stroboscope it is always ready for instant use. It is light, easily portable, and requires no connection of any kind. The slow motion view of quick moving machinery obtainable by its use enables the cause of bad running of machines or parts to be shown up at once, while the object under examination is seen in its true perspective,- without distortion of size, or variation of speed. No modern engine room or machine shop,-where precision and accuracy is so essential,- is complete without a "Stroboret", where the machine immediately justifies the small outlay for its purchase. It is of robust construction and designed for testing work; requires no upkeep; lasts indefinitely; and its great accuracy and utility do not vary with use. We shall be pleased to quote at any time for the supply of one or more. FULL PARTICULARS FROM:-- JAMES COCHRANE & CO. 101,Leadenhall Street. London. E.C.3. ---------------- | ||
