ANALYTICAL

34A for maintenance and providing a minimum of "downtime." The heater is certified to meet FCC regulations. In addition to water cooling, blowers recirculate air within the enclosure to cool the seals of the oscillator tube and the bases of the rectifier tubes. Oscillator, control, and rectifier panel, as well as other components, are located within the cabinet in order to be easily accessible for maintenance. Long-scale, switchboard-type instruments provide improved readability, enabling the operator to determine operating characteristics quickly and accurately. The heater can be used for long- or short-run production, and is available in two models—with or without variable power adjustment. For the short-run production of a wide variety of parts, GE recommends the Type HM-20L1 heater. This model has a variable power adjustment from 0 to 100% by means of a rheostat, either mounted in the work table or purchased separately for mounting elsewhere. The versatility of this unit enables the operator to perform rapid on-off heater operation to harden selected areas accurately in less time. For long-run, higher-production applications which do not have rapid cycling, the Type HM-20L2 heater (without variable power adjustment) is recommended. On such applications, the heater is initially set to heat a specific part and no further adjustment is necessary. The complete heater, in either model, weighs approximately 3600 pounds. Units are available for operation on 230-, 460-, or 550-volt, three-phase, 60-cycle power supplies. 16 Manometer Calibrator E. Machlett & Son offers a new instrument for the calibration of Warburg constant-volume manometers. The device is said to simplify and shorten the calibration procedure by eliminating the handling and weighing of mercury. Each division of the micrometer scale of the calibrator represents a volume displacement of 0.001 ml. The calibrator can be used wherever extreme accuracy is required to determine fluid or gas volume displacement, as in the case of pipets, microburets, and similar apparatus. 17
