TORSION BALANCE COMPANY

---

10 years ago it was the best analytical lab balance around. 2500 units later theTorbal EA-1 still is

The "All-American" Balance Torbal EA-1 has been in continuous production since 1968. Almost every one made in those ten years is still in service, and most with never a service call. What makes the Torbal so durable—so special—for laboratory use is its friction-free torsion design. There's no damageprone knife edge to wear, or need replacement. Which is why the Swiss and German makers are now switching to torsion suspension in their balances. At Torbal we've been building torsion suspensions for over 80 years.

Unmatched reliability and quality. Every Torbal balance is "new generation", combining the quality and the reliability of a nonfatiguing torsion band.

What makes Torbal the best?

Now save as much as $1000 over copy-cat imports. The EA-1's combination of uncompromising quality and repairfree operation has always provided for inexpensive, long-run operation. And right now, thanks to dollar fluctuations, it will cost you a lot less than a copy-cat import. We'd like you to see the EA-1. Unfortunately, size, weight and set-up time present some difficulties for your distributor salesman. So drop us a line and tell us where you are. We'll introduce you to a Torbal user in your area for a hands-on demo.
