NEW PRODUCTS Instruments
ELECTROSTATIC RECORDER
ELEMENTAL ANALYZER FOR 0,
A new system of data recording and immediate visual presentation, combining electrostatic printing and integrated digital electronic circuits, has been developed for use in the chemical and petrochemical processing, refining, and pipeline, and other process control industries. T h e recorder weighs 80 lb., operates on 105-125 VAC or 210-250 VAC, 50 or 60 cycles and draws 100 watts maximum. T h e remote control panel is an optional accessory. Varian Associates. 401
A simple conversion system for utilizing a standard laboratory automated elemental analyzer for oxygen analysis, as well as simultaneous analysis of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen is available. T h e development makes the Perkin-Elmer Model 240 elemental analyzer the first such instrument which can be interchangeably used for either analytical operation. T h e new system is expected to find widespread use in analytical laboratories, where it will eliminate the equipment investment, space, and additional training required for a separate oxygen analysis setup.

THERMOCOUPLE ASSEMBLY
T h e “I Head” thermocouple assembly can be inserted into a drilled bar stock well, providing improved service life over wire and ceramic bead construction. T h e TemTex miniature industrial terminal head machined from aluminum stainless steel bar stock provides a rugged watertight or explosion proof terminal head. One length of thermocouple will serve all immersion depths to 12 in. greatly reducing the problem of inventory stocking and replacement. TemTex Co. 402
ELECTROSTATIC RECORDER
INSTRUMENT PANELS
New small case instrument control panels emphasizing human engineering and functional factors are available. T h e new family of panel configurations meets the growing need for well designed control centers and centralized control panels caused by a greater use of small case instruments and the trend to more centralized control. Human factors determined optimum panel configurations as well as instrument arrangements. Foxboro Co. 405
TRANSDUCER CELL
DESK-TOP CALCULATOR
A low profile Model GT-503, low deflection compression load cell is designed to withstand the rugged service of hydraulic ram force measurements in soil-pressure tests. It is fabricated of stainless steel, has no moving parts, and contains a positive internal stop at 125% of rated load. Four ranges are available: 0 to 2500, to 5000, to 10,000, and to 20,000 lb. Having a deflection of 0.0005 in., the unit has found other applications in weighing and various specialized applications. General Transducer Co. 403
An electronic calculator said to be the first of its type to feature a magnetic drum memory is named the Canon H67. Featuring an input capacity of 30 digits, the Canon #I167 has a keyboard designed so that its relatively few keys can be operated at natural wrist and finger slant. Power to operate the completely solid state advanced circuit calculator can be obtained from any standard a.c. outlet. Its size is equal to a standard typewriter, 8112 x 12 X 221/2 in. Canon U. S. A.

ELECTRONIC CIRCULATOR
A compact, completely self-contained solid state unit with the widest bandwidth is available for use in high speed data reduction systems. Of the two units available, one accepts two signals i n the range of 0-5 volts and delivers an output of the algebraic product and the other accepts signals of 0-10 volts and its output is the algebraic product. Error is less than 50 mV. GPS Instrument Co. 407
Model FS, an all-new, solid-state controlled, completely stainless steel constant temperature circulator capable of control to +0.004" C., is now available for operation between -60 and +250° C. A fully stepless heater output (0 to 1000 watts) permits control of circulated liquids through viscometers, spectrophotometers, polarimeters, refractometers, and other jacketed instruments used in biological laboratories.

DATA PROCESSOR
Why is a leader in electronics looking for Chemical Engineers? Because TI'S history and future are based on growth-and our materials operation is the base of future growth. We've grown 200fold in the last 20 years in electronics, and are already in a new era in which materials are producing new products that will keep this growth pace. So these are literally responsible, ground-floor opportunities. CHEMICAL ENGINEERS

MEASUREMENT
Instrumentation for continuous measurements of moisture content designated Model CB is applicable to a wide range of granular products. T h e system has wide application possibilities in any situation where materials are purchased in bulk and where moisture can have a marked effect on weight. Readout measurement may be located u p to 200 f t . for moisture measurement in instrumentation. Moisture Register Co. 412
THERMOCOUPLE GAGE
Designated the GTC-200, the unit is capable of measuring vacuum in the 1- to 1 0 - 3 - t o ~range. T h e gage features a solid-state package which is temperature compensated for a range of 15" to 50" C. T h e heater current automatically stabilizes against changes in ambient temperature, line voltage, and heater resistance. T h e gage, equipped for either single- or twostage operation, features a three year warranty. Consolidated Vacuum Corp. 409 DILUTING INSTRUMENT
A completely automatic instrument dispenses concentrated acids, bases, and solvents accurately, safely, and without danger of contamination. Using an exclusive Teflon and glass electro-magnetic check valve, the dual-head Dilutrol picks u p a preset volume of sample during the first half of the diluting cycle, and dispenses the same sample plus a preset volume of diluent during the second half. Independent self-locking knobs permit quick volumetric adjustments at both the sample and diluent syringes. Manostat Corp. 410
