The consistent precision and fantastically close tolerances required in manufacturing a light bulb are enough to make a traditional Swiss â€" watâ€" chmaker stand in awe. The heart of a light bulb is the filament which is made out of fine tungsten wire. This wire is heated to over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or more then half the sun‘s temperature. Tungsten, with one of the highest melting points of any metal known to man, is ideal for filaments but it does have one major drawback â€" it is hard to get. It is rarer than gold, platinum and uranium. To make sure its tungsten is pure and able to meet the stringent tolerances, CGE starts with ore, processes it and draws it through diamond dies to reduce it to diameters as small as 45â€" 100,000ths of an inch.

Other items on the agenda of the meeting included the appointment of members to the following advisory boardsâ€" Historical sites, information and education, waterfront, conservation areas and flood control and water conservation. Appointments were made to the following subâ€" committees â€" personnel, finance, _ administrative office, the conservation farm, printing and employee suggestions. The authority, with a membership of 16 municipalities including Metropolitan Toronto and the regional municipality of York, administers 1,126 st‘uuare miles of watershed which includes 126 square miles in Lake Ontario. To increase the light bulb‘s efficiency, tungsten filament is put through a process called coilâ€"coil. If you measured the filament in a 60â€"watt bulb, you would find the coiled filament to be 5aths of an inch long. But, if you uncoiled it, you‘d find it to be 21 inches of very fine tungsten wire. The glass in the bulb is designed _ to _ transmit maximum amount of light yet be strong enough to withstand _ temperatures varying from zero to 850 degrees. . €SALE ENDS Thurs., March Ist: Moreover, largely because U MeAÂ¥hC M yPel n 0 JE 1| AUTOMATICS e DRYERS e DISHW ASHERS e SALES e RED CARPET SERVICE® MAYTAG period at end of drying cycle relaxes and removes wrinkles . resets onginal creases and pleats « Full opening Sate ty Door. a Fine mesh lint filter a Many others Up to $60.00 on a pair â€" Model close out SPECIALS, on A206 Auto matic Washers and DE307 Dryers and WP600 Dishwashers.
