Hi,
I have been arranging to make these on and off for a while now. This one is part of an order for 50, a numbered series by the customer.
tetrus stylus components that have a nice double twist action, schimdt refil.
Jet, stone blank lasered and paint filled. The upper barrel and clip are also engraved.
When i started i found i didn't have bushing so made some abit over size from nylon then finished between centres and vernier calipers etc.
The stylus was not used as i had to set some kapton foil that was flown in space in 1969. I was a bit terrified doing this part as there is only a limited amount available and i din't want to mess up. This part took the longest by far.
The hard part was keeping the foil central and getting the same size and shape each time.
The pic was taken before the top part was epoxiedin and appologies for crap quality pic as i forgot to set the white balance.
T and C's welcome.
Regards
Pete
