With reference to the Condenser job, we have now gone back to the "Stickoline" varnish in place of the Armacell. We are of the opinion that Stickoline is more satisfactpry since we have adopted the method of putting condensers into the Vacuum Chamber. The objection we have against Armacell is that it takes a considerable time to dry. We have also made some new heavy clamping fixtures and since these have been brought into use, we are getting more satisfactory results. We have now handed to the Works 17 Condensers; we hope to complete the first 25 by Thursday. We are also making some more Filing Jigs for Mica Plates with a view of turning out Condensers more rapidly. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} | ||
