Abstract: 1340462 Removing metal by lasers SINGER CO 30 March 1972 [6 Aug 1971] 15119/72 Heading B3V [Also in Division G1] Apparatus for measuring and removing imbalance in the flexure suspended flywheel rotor of a gyroscope comprises fixed pick-ups supplying signals representing pitch and roll of the rotor, which control laser guns directed at the surface of the flywheel to remove material and correct for different types of imbalance. The imbalances are removed by a laser gun 11a or 11b (Figs. 2, 3) whose beam is focused through a window 29a or 29b in the chamber cover 18 on to the surface of the flywheel 64. The beam is energized via a computer fed with the signals from pick-ups 65, to remove material from the surface of the flywheel at the location of the imbalance, the number of burns being calculated from the magnitude of the unbalance signals. Successive burns are made to occur at adjacent locations to prevent burning through the outer rim of the flywheel, by using a photocell 47 which receives light from a source 46 reflected from the flywheel surface. If this paint on the surface has already been eroded by a laser beam no light reaches the photocell 47 and the next laser energization is delayed by, e.g. 1 degree. Three laser beams may be used, one directed at the flexure axis f, one above and one below (Fig. 8, not shown). The material removed by the laser beams is blown by gas jets 38 on to collector material 39.

A rear push-button actuated, retractable ball-point pen has a tiltable control member 6 interposed between the push-button 5 and the refill 3. The control member 6 has two latches 6<SP>1</SP> and 6<SP>11</SP> for engagement with first and second annular abutments 1<SP>1</SP> and 1<SP>11</SP> formed on the interior of the upper part of a two part housing 1. With the pen in the retracted position (Fig. 7) pressure is applied to the push-button 5 to move the control member 6 axially and laterally so that latch 6<SP>1</SP> engages abutment 1<SP>1</SP>, Fig. 8. Releasing the pressure allows the retracting spring (4, Fig. 1) to pivot the control member 6 about its latch 6<SP>1</SP>, so that the second latch 6<SP>11</SP> engages the abutment 1<SP>1</SP> (Fig. 9) thereby retaining the refill in the projected position. Further pressure on the push-button causes the control member 6 to move axially and laterally so that latch 6<SP>11</SP> engages abutment 1<SP>11</SP> (Fig. 10). Releasing the pressure allows the spring to pivot the control member 6 about its latch 6<SP>11</SP>, so that latch 6<SP>1</SP> misses the abutment 1<SP>1</SP> and the refill, control member and push-button take up the fully retracted position (Figs. 11 and 7). The push-button is formed with spaced, parallel, downwardly extending lugs (5<SP>11</SP>, Fig. 6) provided with inwardly projecting pins which engage oval recesses (V, Figs. 5 and 6) formed in the sides of the control member 6.

A method of coating a flat member with a viscous liquid comprises moving the member in deformable contact with a liquidcharged roll type applicator having a resilient corrugated outer surface. As described, viscous light-sensitive material such as one comprising a naphthoquinone-(1, 2)-diazide sulfonic acid ester, an alkali soluble resin, a polyvinyl ester and a solvent, is applied, as a step in the formation of a printed' circuit, to the copper-covered surface of a substrate formed with through holes made conductive by coating the walls thereof with copper prior to the application of the light-sensitive coating. It is stated that said method prevents the entry of the coating liquid into the holes. The roll may have a rubber surface having a hardness of from 35 to 70 durometers and formed with at least 40 threads per inch of a depth of at least 3 mils.
