  2. Scleroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scleroscope

    A scleroscope is a device used to measure rebound hardness. It consists of a steel ball dropped from a fixed height. The device was invented in 1907. As an improvement on this rough method, the Leeb Rebound Hardness Test, invented in the 1970s, uses the ratio of impact and rebound velocities (as measured by a magnetic inducer) to determine hardness

    Advertisement for Ansco Cyko photographic paper, 1922. Photographic paper is a paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical, used for making photographic prints.When photographic paper is exposed to light, it captures a latent image that is then developed to form a visible image; with most papers the image density from exposure can be sufficient to not require further development, aside from ...

    The image can be seen forming. When a strong image is seen the frame is brought indoors to stop the process. The unconverted coating is washed away, and the paper is then dried. The result is a copy of the original image with the clear background area rendered dark blue and the image reproduced as a white line. This process has several features ...

  9. Sclerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclerometer

    The Turner-Sclerometer test consists of measuring the amount of load required to make a scratch. [1] [2] In test a weighted diamond point is drawn, once forward and once backward, over the smooth surface of the material to be tested. The hardness number is the weight in grams required to produce a standard scratch.
