Jewell Issues Catalog of Instruments Full Line of Electrical Measuring Instruments Made by the Jewell Electrical Instrument Co.

A foreword on page 2 explains the slogan which is being used in Jewell advertising and which forms a running head over each page. The slogan is "Twenty-eight years making good instruments." The "twenty-eight" years refers to the period in which the organization has been engaged in continuous research, development and manufacture of electrical measuring instruments; "making good instruments" is the claim, conservative and honest, which is the ideal every Jewell employe, executive and instrument maker alike, strives to uphold. Among the many instruments made by the Jewell organization for use with radio sets and which are illustrated and described are the A-B Relay for accomplishing trickle charging and B-eliminator switching automatically; voltmeter, pattern No. 190, designed principally to take care of the demand for a small panel type instrument in sets using alternating current; the Jewell Tip-Jack Voltmeter, the Double Reading Two-inch instrument; Pattern No. 135-B voltmeter for "A" and "B" battery checking; the AC-DC set Analyzer, pattern No. 137, designed for servicing both AC and DC operated radio sets; pattern No. 133-A set analyzer for the dealer servicing only DC MICA DIAPHRAGMS Immediate delivery — all sizes Send for free samples and prices All Mica Products INTERNATIONAL MICA CO.

The tube checkers include the AC-DC tube checker, the DC tube checker and the Junior tube checker, which is designed for checking tubes at home.
