It ’s easy to understand that there
are many parts in a Wurlitzer
Phonograph that are carefully tested
for precision of size and workman­
ship. But it’s not so easy to under­
stand how raw materials are tested
for intangible qualities.
Take the
hardness of steelball bearings, for
example. Each ball must be of the
same
hardness,
otherwise
noisy
channeling and excess wear result.
The hardness of metals is tested by
an instrument known as the Rock'

use at Wurlitzer checking the hard­
ness of dies /and metal parts. The
point of a diamond, under enormous
but accurately measured pressure, is
pressed into the metal to be tested
and the depth of the penetration is
read on a scale which records the
amount to an accuracy of a ten-
thousandth of an inch.
At Wurlitzer there are many such
instruments and gauges used by
scores of careful inspectors and it
is largely due to this scientific ac­
curacy that the remarkable depend­
ability of Wurlitzer Phonographs is
due.
