PACE 242 HOME MOVIES FOR AUCUST HE never saw a Jap plane in his life. Never personally handled a weapon any deadlier than a BB gun. He'll never make the headlines or the history books. But he works in a plant back home that makes precision instruments. And when the target's a Zero moving at more than three hundred miles an hour, anti-aircraft marksmanship is strictly an instrument job. Good or bad — hit or miss — it depends on him! Precision instruments count heavily in every action in this war, are needed in unprecedented numbers. This is especially true of optical instruments, which Universal now manufactures for the Army, Navy, Marines and for forces of the United Nations, in quantity production hitherto thought impossible where present high standards of precision are so vital. Today, thanks largely to Universal engineering research, outstanding accuracy in lens-making is achieved more economically than ever before, anywhere in the world. Result: A tremendous new impetus in the development of photographic and optical instruments — a sure promise of finer-than-ever cameras available to everyone. Test for a perfect marriage A binocular is really two instruments fastened together. They are used together, one for each eye. To avoid eye strain, they must be exactly aligned so that both eyes can see as one. Here is one of the hundreds of tests each binocular must undergo at the Universal Camera Corporation plant — making sure that the two instruments have become one instrument of Highest precision in a perfect marriage! . . . Today's advances in precision promise finer optical and photographic equipment tomorrow. ■one flap prouder oj !
