| 25. RCA research and precision control continue round the clock. Thousands of tubes are tested each month for every significant characteristic. Thousands of tubes are also life tested continuously as part of RCA's intensive study of its own products. These tests supplement regular quality control checks run on every tube produced. They are a part of the quality control procedure by which RCA keeps customer satisfaction and tube performance at the highest level. | 26. All tube types are rechecked against the highest standards before shipment to a customer. | ||||||||||||||||||

| 27. RCA tubes will operate under extreme temperature conditions - from boiling....to ice cold. These tubes can take it. | 28. Engineers at the RCA Electron Tube Division affectionately call this the "guillotine drop tester." A tube is lifted....and dropped. It's really got to be tough to take that kind of impact - - equal to thousands of times its own weight. | ||||||||||||||||||

| 29. Nothing can be left to chance. Even the testing equipment itself is under close surveillance. Instruments used in RCA quality tests are kept precisely calibrated. They are checked against strict Government standards. | 30. Tubes that don't meet RCA's high standards are ground up and thrown out. They'll never reach any service technician's shelves to give trouble in a customer's set. You see, there's no such thing as a second in RCA receiving tubes. | ||||||||||||||||||
