This girl at the Osram Lamp Works of The General Electric Co. Ltd. of England is engaged in the internal coating of fluorescent tubes. A thin cream of fluorescent powder is forced up the tubes by compressed air, and they are then placed on the conveyor (top left) which runs to the drying chamber. The timing of the coating and drying operations is critical because the slightest variation would result
in a reduced light output from the completed tube. At this, as in many other stages of the manufacture of Osram lamps and tubes, a high degree of accuracy is required from the operators. Their skill and experience as well as stringent quality tests applied during and after production, guarantee that Osram lamps and tubes preserve the reputation for high quality that has been the pride of the G.E.C. for over 50 years.
