VIBRATION destroys ACCURACY Delicate pivots, * fine gearing, tiny links and other details of sensitive instruments are damaged by vibration. Sometimes the damage is not instantly destructive, but is in the form of accelerated wear which sets up extra friction, impairs accuracy, and reduces the value and reliability of the readings obtained. The importance of providing adequate vibration-absorbtng mountings for aircraft instruments is well understood—for these are among the very many thousands for which we design and supply Metalastik mountings. But in the factory and the power-station, the effects of vibration are not so fully realised, perhaps because they are not so obvious—but serious harm often results. We in this company maintain a full research staff, with complete equipment, ^ who can analyse vibrations from any source and of any character, and can design mountings to reduce or eliminate their harmful effects. The small illustrations show three extremely simple Metalastik instrument mountings, the low-frequency type, left, the cross-type, centre, and the stud-type right. An important development, the Statostable system of mounting, will be shown in a later advertisement. Metalastik Ltd., Leicester. METALASTIIC ^A
