Our Models 1077 and 1251 Viscometers are used to measure viscosity continuously. Several hundred of these are in operation -- some a8 far away as Arabia and others as close as Standard Oil's Richmond refinery. Gulf Oil has sixteen of our viscometers in one refinery. The Viscometer has been used mainly in the petroleum industry for blending of fuel oils, asphalts and road oil8 as well as for monitor- ing the blending and manufacture of lubri- cating oils. Operation of the Viscometer is quite simple and requires little attention on the part of the attendant. A emall portion of the product to be analyzed is pumped into the Viscometer. The pump provides a constant low flow of 64 ml./min. or about 1 gallon of sample per hour. The sample passe8 through an 18 foot long heat exchanger which is immersed in oil. The temperature of the oil is controlled at any selected point between room temperature and 300°F by an electric heater and our Ther- motrol temperature controller. When the sam- ple comes out of the heat exchanger it is within 0 .l°F of the selected temperature. The sample then flows through a capillary tube, similar to a hypodermic needle, and out of the instrument. The size of the capillary tube varies from l/64" to l/8" inside diameter and from 2 to 5 inchee in length depending on the viscosity of the sample to be analyzed. With a constant flow of even temperature sample, a drop in pressure across the capillary tube i8 directly proportional to viscosity. The pres- sure on both 8ide8 of the capillary is measured with a pressure transmitter which can send a About 80 people attended the and judging from reporta, they all had- a fine time, Except for the overcast weather (otherwise known as Halli-, kainen Picnic weather) the area wu8 almost ideal.

Personality Sketch. work for the company brought with him 25 years of experience in precision machining. He learned his trade in Hamburg, Germany where, after completing his regular schooling he epent 3+ year8 in specialized training school which gave him the rating of Feinmechanikermeister. He worked in Hamburg on geodetic, medical and optical instruments until 1953 when he went to Brazil and then came to the U.S. in 1956. Before coming to work here, Walter worked for an optical instrument company in San Francisco. He ha8 the reputation in the shop for doing top quality work in the shortest possible time, and he never turn8 out a poor job. Walter is assigned to do most of the prototype work on our medical instruments. His many spare time activities include the making of jewelry, restoration of old paint- ings, wood carving, carpentry, painting, gardening and playing the flute. Walter lives in Berkeley with his wife and 18 year old daughter. the die-hard picnicers and continued the party Breyers * . See you all
