Nucleonics In Quality Control
1959 , Southend-on-Sea (Essex)
Cat no. 943
The workings of the nucleonic gauge, made by the famous radio makers Ekco (E.K Cole) Electronics ltd, and its applications to measure the thickness of different materials.
At Imperial Paper Mills, paper is being made and samples taken to test thickness. The old process of testing is time consuming and wasteful. The nucleonic gauge, however, carries out this procedure as the paper is made and rolled. The gauge is also shown checking oxide thickness during the production of magnetic tape. This is linked to a unit that regulates the manufacturing process. In contrast, various cumbersome manual control systems are also shown.
