Results Obtained with the Modified Norelco Autrometer

Abstract

During the past year the NORELCO Autrometer has been modified with respect to several details. Operation with the helium path and flow counter is now possible for work with the soft elements. Rotation in and out of the loading position is automatic so that all that an operator is required to do is to load the specimen holder. The sample or standard in the reading position can be rotated in its own plane for elimination of diffraction effects and other sample preparation problems. Other modifications in the electronics have increased the reliability and ease of maintenance in the production models, A description will be given of this latest unit and data will be presented on the results obtained both with respect to precision and analytical determinations.
