Antwort: no more lamp cleaning

Dear Mr. Demeler,


at the occasion of your visit at Leverkusen you saw the new "bulleye
free" XLA
lamps at our machines.

In your mail you asked for experience with this lamps and we are glad
we can
tell you

that we have made good experience with these lamps.


Since 5 months we are working with the new equippment and since then,
there was
no

need for cleaning. For us this means we have saved 5 times of time
consuming
cleaning

pocedures up to now and we hope this will continue.

We also could not detect any disadvantages. The new lamps are not
cheap, but

we feel they are worth the price.



Thanks to Beckman and to their service engineers.


Yours sincerely

H.G. Müller
