Abstract
This paper describes the method with high accuracy and high efficiency. The correction recording is done through the following procedures: (1) Recording graduations normally on the slave scale referring to the master scale. (2) Measuring the scale error. (3) Erasing. (4) Rerecording to cancel the scale error referring to the error data. The next two basic methods are executed to control recording pulses in the step (4): (a) Correction recording referring to the interpolated pulses of the masterscale. (b) Correction recording by the time conversion method. The following became clear: (1) The transcription with an accuracy of about 1'' can be done by the method (a). (2) The transcription with an accuracy of about 0.2'' can be done by the method (b) within the correction values of 1''. (3) Applying the 2 step correction recording method, which is combined method (a) with (b), to the masterscale, the scale with an accuracy of about 0.5'' has been recorded.
