THE CARE AND FEEDING OF V E R Y C L E A N V A C U U M S ( A n o b j e c t l e s s o n in w h a t t o d o w i t h stray organic molecules) Oil is fine on the bearings of a car. Or after baby's bath. Oil is not fine on the walls of your vacuum system. If you're not using a Varian Vaclon® all-electronic pump, you've probably got oil in your system. In thin-film evaporation or semi­ conductor work, this can be trouble­ some. Oily systems produce grubby vacuums. Grubby vacuums produce thin films that don't come up to par, or semiconductors that behave in mysterious ways. If at all. Now, ion-getter pumps are dandy for avoiding oil contamination. They remove gases by reconstituting them into stable solids. There aren't any stray organic molecules wandering around in your vacuum system. Hard to say that for oil-diffusion pumps. Varian Vaclon pumps can pump down to the 5 χ 10-'° mm Hg range. They're extra-reliable; fail-safe design

VACUUM PRODUCTS DIVISION

means no messy clean-up jobs in the event of vacuum or power failure. We can provide all sorts of excel­ lent vacuum hardware. High thru-put pumps. Miniature pumps with speeds of 0.2 litres/second. Monster pumps with speeds of 10,000 litres/second. Catalog-item systems, for a bewilder­ ing variety of applications. We've been told we sound smugly confident when we talk about Vaclon pumps. That, we'll admit. We're so confident that we guarantee to re­ place your Vaclon pump if it doesn't perform exactly the way we say it will. Or your money back. We ask only that you design your vacuum system after heeding the thoughtful advice of our wise old vacuum scientists. We could tell you more, but we've done it better (and with formulae) in a brochure. Write for your copy.
