description- – 002 ACCURACY and the Camera's Snapshot An expectant hush hangs over the throng as the throb and roar of the thundering racing car grows louder. Then a cloud of dust, the car visible for a fraction of a second, and gone;but its image in that instant is recorded on a plate for the picture in your tomorrow?s paper?. The camera?s parts are of Redmanol, because Redmanol?s ?press fits? are so absolute that no light can leak in to fog the sensitized plate or film. So, for dash-pots or printing plates, or telephone ear caps, Redmanol is the preferred material, because it offers such unvarying structure coupled with unusual and ever constant accuracy of dimensions. Where precision of parts is a factor, Redmanol has markedly cut down the number of rejections under the inspector?s micrometer. Every engineer will delight in the flawless, never-changing accuracy of his Redmanol Pieces. [12]Ear Caps for Sound Intensifier; Printing Plate; Camera Case Parts; Fuse Plug; Dash-Pot [13]
