TEN TIMES QUICKER
BRITAIN SPEEDS UP PRODUCTION OF SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS Surgical instruments for the bat-
' tleiield and for civilian hospitals ar being made much more quickly tc day by new methods worked out i , r a British factory* i While surgeon's, knives and spec ialised. delicate instruments are stil hand-forged and receive individua treatment, most of the essential in l struments at present in use ar< standardised, especially as nearly al | of them are for the British anc . Russian Governments. The man} r varieties of surgiea forceps can therefore be made fron: drop forgings. Uniformity in these stampings is the aim so that the instruments may be machined and set, and, after minor adjustments from a skilled operator, turned out. with perfect workmanship. Apart from a considerable reduction in cost, production is now ten times as quick. Instruments for Russia have a special coating of copper as mi additional protection against corrosion.
