Abstract: In instruments such as Wien filters, electrostatic and/or magnetic pole pieces must be mounted on and secured to a supporting structure with a very high degree of dimensional precision, usually by brazing. To that end, a fixture is provided for holding the parts to be assembled in precise relationship and to press the pole pieces into engagement with the supporting structure while the securing operation is being carried out. The pressing is accomplished by a gravity-produced force which is, therefore, independent of positional accuracies caused by very high temperatures, such as are encountered during brazing.

Abstract: A kit for making O-rings from cord stock material essentially includes a holding fixture for securing the material, a container of bonding liquid and a heating mold. The holding fixture allows the cord material to be cut diagonally in such a fashion that the magnitude of the angle is smaller for cord materials having a smaller diameter. Therefore, there is a larger bonding surface for smaller diameter materials. The O-ring heating mold includes two flat separable heat conductive blocks having a common flat interface. Apertures are located across the interface having cross-sectional diameters that are slightly less than the tube stock cross-sectional diameters. Since the central axis of each aperture is not located directly at the interface one portion will include more than 180.degree. of arc whereas the other portion will correspondingly include less than 180.degree..
