Netu Discovery Hid
To Food Gamers
Cracks and Fla,rs Detected
By Photoelectric Cell.

NEW YORK.-A benefit to food
professors and consumers alike
was seen in an announcement by
General Electric Of the develop
ment of a photoeleetric crack de-
teetor that inspects glass jars and
bottles as they pass on a rotary
turntable, automatically singing out
and rejecting those that contain
minute cracks or surface irregulari-
ties.
Such flaws, if they were to pass
unnoticed, might prevent alright
sealing and result in spoilage of the
contents.
More accurate than a human in
spector in uncovering defects in
glass containers, this crack de-
tector is also much more rapid. 1t
inspects bottles as fast as they are
made on bottle-making machine,
which may be one or more every
second. and it detects even those
flaws which are barely visible to
the naked eye. In one food paekag-
ing plant it was previously found
that, on the average, 2 out of ev-
cry 100 glass containers with flaws
escaped detection by human inspec.
tors.
In operation the detector rejects
faulty containers without interrupt
ing the continuous bottle-making
process. AS the containers automat-
ically move in front Of a sensitive
photoelectric tube, they are whirled
rapidly while a strong light is d.
rected on the part to be inspected.
Since the phototube is not affected
by a steady light, the light re-
Elected by perfect glass produces
no effect. A rapidly spinning bottle
with even the slightest imperfection
on the sealing edge, however,
causes the light beam to flicker, and
this quick change in the intensity Of
the beam is sufficient to eject the
imperfect container while the per.
feet ones are allowed to continue on
their way.
