One wiseacre assumed we meant any package leaving our shipping room that once had a glass object in it. That is a malicious rumor. . . Ground glass is thin plate glass, the surface of which has been physically ground or acid-etched to create a grainy, grayish, opaque surface. Use it to produce an image from a lens or lens system. Even a simple magnifier, held between the ground glass and, say, a window, will produce an image of the window scene on the ground glass. Ground glass has another magical property: it is opaque to any object viewed at a distance, but not if that object is in direct contact with the glass surface. A necessary element of your optical education. #2728 (square) is 2"sq x 1/32" thick. #2610 (rectangular) is 3-1/2" x 4-3/8" x 1/16" thick.

Because we know you want more Flintstones(tm) stuff, you'll love these TrueType(tm) computer display fonts straight out of TV cartoons! The Flintstones(tm) pack are "stone" letters and numbers with and without Flintstones(tm) characters hanging on them and (3) additional complementary fonts. We can't show you examples here because the fonts are for Windows(tm) and we set this catalog on beautiful Macs.

Optical imaging folk insist that their reflective surfaces be on top of the glass, because an optically minor “ghost” is created with back surface mirrors. These “First Surface” optical mirrors generally also have better glass and flatter surfaces than their household brethren. Delicate, with the fragile reflective surface exposed, they carry the prices that precision demands. If you are playing with lasers, photography or optical alignment, the first surface items below are what you need. Dimensions are included in the description as width x length x thickness, all in mm.

And girls. In this day of grade inflation, the way to reward students, apparently, is with certificates of - -you name it. We have 5-1/2" x 8" certificates of achievement. All you need to do is fill in the recipient's name and the name of the class, school or institution and the date. Each has a different colored background ink with scroll like engraved edging. Very official looking. The mere idea sets AS&S hearts a flutter with the desire to excel. But then we are easily motivated.

Plop this cork sheet into any of your projects. Quite flexible, 12" x 36", just 1/16" thick. That's pretty thin for a bulletin board, but just right for making yourself a cork wardrobe, or providing designer soundproofing in your Media Room. Use a sheet as a soft base for delicate model building, or craft a raft; cork floats, you know.

Check out this standard mirror that reverses to a first-surface mirror covered by a piece of protective film. The first-surface side is great for use with lasers. It's 1/8" thick and 8" long. And? And it tapers from 5-1/4" wide at one end to 5" at the other. If anyone asks, just tell him he's hallucinating.

We know there's a message in this 12" dia safety sign with the classic slashed circle. It's red and white on reflective, adhesive-backed vinyl, and the graphics mean "Do not put out fire with liquids." Given its limited application, we're more excited about cutting out the white sections and putting the red circle/slash over a photo of our least favorite politician. But hey, if you're on the safety committee, knock your socks off. Just make sure the sign isn't hung upside down. Then it says "Do not let fire rain into your coffee."

Stop picturing a fat cable you can use to tie down an airplane. This is great 20–strand twisted cable from the aircraft industry, but at 1/16” dia, it’s sized more for a Chicago Cub than a Piper Cub. The cable is high–quality stainless steel, unjacketed and very strong. Use it to hang extremely heavy mirrors, make repairs, create bendable metal sculptures! Order in 15–foot or 100–foot hanks. Enjoy!

It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.
