Gestetner E$455 stencil cutter
The original is placed at the right- hand side of the drum with a clean stencil next to it. The drum revolves at a constant speed and an electronic device scans the original in a series of lines, activating a stylus on the carbon-impregnated stencil. This stencil may then be duplicated in the normal way.

WASHBASINS
Narrow Counter-top Models Take Up Little Space
TWO additions to the Swanlyne range of vitreous-china counter-top basins, the Petal and the Wren, have been designed to take up a minimum of counter space and are therefore re- commended for use in hospitals, stu- dent residences, etc., as well as in the home. Both come in white, a standard range of colours, and in two-tone ver- sions.
The Petal consists of a drop-in basin with an integral rim incorporat- ing holes for the hot and cold taps. The oval-shaped Wren, on the other
Swanlyne Petal basin
hand, fits below the counter top, which must therefore be drilled to ac- commodate the taps. Overall dimen- sions of the Petal are 18 by 12 in.; the Wren is made in three sizes: 153⁄4% by 13 in., 1934 by 15 in. and 23 by
16 in.

PUBLIC ADDRESS
Keys Switch Announcements to Selected Speaker Groups
A COMPACT microphone and loud- speaker control set, introduced by Whiteley Electrical Radio Co. Ltd., Mansfield, Notts., UK, clamps to the top of a telephone switchboard for use by the telephonist. Selection keys on the fascia of the set allow an- nouncements to be made through any number up to six speaker groups in the circuit.
The aluminium-cased control unit, 81⁄2 in. wide, 14 in. deep and 2 in. high, has a two-pronged microphone holder suspended from the front of it, and two small lamps on the top. One of these signifies whether the amplifier is already in use for relaying an au- tomatic time signal, while the other lights up when the broadcast system itself is in operation.
The circuit becomes live only when
Whiteley control set
the microphone has been lifted from the holder and its self-retracting flexi- ble cable fully extended. By depress- ing the appropriate key, the announce- ment is relayed to the selected work area or areas. Any number of loudspeakers may be connected to each of the six groups.
The makers have no agents in S.E. Asia.

ADHESIVE
Bonds Ceiling Tiles to Uneven Surfaces
EVO-STIK 707 is a new heavy-duty gap-filling adhesive which will give an immediate bond for ceiling tiles weigh- ing up to 41⁄2 lb. It is an oleo- resinous material of exceptional cohesive strength designed to bond cane fibre and mineral tiles of up to 2 ft. x 2 ft. to rough-screeded or uneven ceilings of plaster, timber or metal.
In use, Evo-Stik 707 is knife-applied in daubs of about an inch in diameter and a half inch thick to primed areas at the centre and corners of the tile. The adhesive has ample open time to allow the tile to be accurately posi- tioned but provides an immediate bond to its full loading capacity.
