Experiences with polishing electroless nickel
During recent years the bureaucracy has become increasingly rigid in demanding a mechanical observance of the minimum bid specified on the simplest terms. Qualifications of the vendor and specifications of the product are increasingly viewed as attempts to thwart the progress of the process toward minimum quality, Any such qualification or specification must be justified as to not only reasonableness but necessity. This provides the purpose of this paper, to record forever the existence of the wild dingleberry and to disclose its habits with respect to laps and the marvelous effects it has on the emotional state of the lappers. Among metal polishers, the term dingleberry refers to a type of nodule or wartlike structure sometimes seen in isolation and occasionally in considerable profusion particularly in chemically plated surfaces. 2 refs.
