starting here in the cherry hill laboratories near camden new jersey r c a victor continues to raise quality standards for the television industry here are some of the reasons why with r c a victor research engineers and advanced designers work together in the pursuit of quality electronic engineers continually probe into the future there are only guideposts our ideas as to where quality as these men work one of their first steps is to build a prototype before being used a new component is taken to the component development and test laboratory here it receives exhaustive and average capacitor must be able to withstand at least twice its rated voltage and is also tested to measures developing under various temperature changes all switches relays and bearings are mechanically tested to make sure that they are able to withstand the equivalent of up to ten years where before manufacturing prototype coils are handmade and then subjected to exhaustive test components or even tested under steam pressure to simulate extreme heat and humidity and banned electrically retested only after proving conclusively that they can function effectively under conditions far worse than those they will be subjected to in the average home or electrical components located for production thinking electrical components are being good dying and tested the tumors are being developed and improved upon in a special laboratory much of it is highly specialized work takes place inside individual cages designed to screen out electrical interference the operating characteristics of prototype human errors are carefully studied to make certain the pain meet the high standards established by r c a victor simultaneously the product development division searches for design that reflect scent trends from all over the world hand in hand with styling design is a selection of quality materials to assure lasting beauty what samples from all over the world are carefully considered hardware and fittings are selected carefully to compliment the basic design colors and finish types are selected from a wide range of samples again all these materials undergo initial testing to make sure they are able to withstand normal wear and still retain their beauty samples are put into freezing chance for a period of a half hour or more than immediately put into a government or a similar period after which they are closely inspected for any tendency to shrink or swell pain some plastics are examined under ultraviolet light to check their characteristics and make sure that they will retain full color and luster when all components have passed quality test the go ahead to be tested as a unit and even though each part has been individually quality tested they are again tested to make sure that they do not lose any of their quality characteristics when assembled with other component circuitry aided by test pictures and patterns originating from this room in the cherry hill laboratory it operates much the same as any television station however by using a closed circuit engineers can simulate conditions such as system they can also create their own interference so that they can be sure that a quality picture will be produced even under adverse conditions varying angles but sound is measured by sensitive instruments to scientifically assure that each sound system comes up to r c a victor is high standard has long been known that an instrument such as a television receiver could if not properly shielded produce picture interference in other nearby that uses the girls being fed back into the air by the receiver engineering models and prototypes of sats are brought to this laboratory and check to guide r c a victor engineers in developing circuits that keep such interferences well within the required limit special equipment is used that can measure signal field strength in terms of millions of both r c a engineers not only developed the techniques and standards used in these tests and measurement they actually used them to develop sets with built in quality long before s p c requirements were enacted as along when components have passed all test specifications are released to r c a victor manufacturing plant
