Fine Instrument
Work Is Akin To
Matchmaking Craft

Assembly of meters and other mea-
suring devices manufactured by The
Electrical Instrument Co.
is complicated, intricate process,
in many respects more akin to the
fine art of. watch making than to
the usual Industrial procedure.
In the large assembly rooms of
the local firm, superior craftsman
ship and familiarity with delicate
adjustments are seen in the steady
hands of wen-trained workmen as
they go about their regular tasks
of putting myriads Of small parts
into combinations which result in
some of the best. instruments the
world has ever known.
Even the smallest meters made by
the company have upwards of 100
separate parts in them, some as
small as a pin head. Some of the
work is done under microscopes, and
some of the screws used are so
minute in size that as many as 3d.
500 may be made from a single
pound of metal.
Precautions taken to maintain in
struments of the highest quality find
the craftsmen employed by the COM
pany working in unusual assembly
surroundings.
Principal assembly rooms are air.
conditioned. All air taken into the
buildings is completedly washed and
humidity-controlled to assure produc-
ton of instruments of the highest
quality.
Much of the equipment used, not
only in assembly but also parts
fabrication, has been planned and
made especially for the meter and
tester operations.
An unusual phase of operations
here is that many of the parts
fabricated and assembled are made
here instead of buying from outside
sources, so that ri gid quality stand
ards can be maintained.
