J. WISS ®,SONS co. 9 to 39 LITTLETON AVE. NEWARK, N. J., U.S. A. ESTABLISHED 1848 COPYRIGHT, 1907, BY J. WISS & SONS /- HOW GOOD SHEARS ARE MADE. OTHING is more difficult to make than ~ perfect pair of shears or scissors. By perfect, we mean shears and scissors which have the following requirements: High Grade Material. WELDING Perfect Temper. True Cutting Edges which will last indefinitely. All shears may look alike to you. Even at the first glance an expert is sometimes unable to tell the quality. But time will surely show the differ­ ence between a poor shear and a Wiss. Did you ever use a pair of shears and have them chew the cloth in­ stead of cutting it clean, or have the blades grind as you open and shut HARDENING them until the edges of that shear were like a saw? That shear was not perfectly tempered or the adj ust­ ment of it was poor and it will never work satisfactorily. A Wiss never disappoints. \!\!iss shears are all tempered per­ fectly by our exclusive process. This is one of our most valuable secrets, as it insures an edge that is always sharp. PEEKING High Grade Material. The very best material enters into the construction of Wiss shears They are not made of the "just as good" material, but of the very besL When you buy Wiss shears you know that you are not paying for an experiment, but for something which has proved satisfactory since 1848. You take no chances. Good Workmanship. Shears and scissors must be made by hand, their perfect adjustment GRINDING depending entirely upon the skill of the workman. Each Wiss shear and scissors is handled nearly 500 times in the fac­ tory before it is fi nished, and to make a first-class shear each of the 500 operations must be conscien­ tiously performed and absolutely ac­ curate. The Wiss process of making shears is recognized as the very best, especially when applied to shears which are used for heavy work, such as cutting cloth and fabrics of all ----· kinds. To-clay you will find WISS POLISHING SHEARS throughout the entire world. Strict I nspection. Each Wiss shear or scissors is subject to at least ten different in­ spections in various stages of manu­ facture. Inspectors who are experts in their work (some of whom have devoted their whole life to shear making) must 0. K. the shear or scissors before it is offered for sale FINISHING TERMS. TO THE TRADE.

N o springs, no levers or other parts to be lost or become out of order. The shear can be easily taken apart and the lint and dirt that in­ variably collects under a shear bolt removed, overcoming the annoyance of having shear blades hard to open and close. The bolt, when taken out of the shear, consists of only two p1eces and can only be replaced correctly. The operator can quicklv adjust the shear to work looser or tighter by the use of an ordinary small screw-driver and a slight turn of the nut.

  • Stabile Research Building Training Presentation
    Tail Snips, Tattoos and Identification Procedures - Training Presentation University of South Florida (July 2005) Course Objectives This presentation will outline common methods used to obtain tissues for DNA/RNA sampling, as well as prevalent identification methods. Tissues commonly used for assessment of DNA and RNA in mice are the tail and ear. Simple identification methods include ear punching, ear notching, placement of ear tags, and tattooing of the tail or foot pad. (NOTE: Any tissue collection over the age of 21 days and/or over 5cm requires anesthesia; use of local anesthetic agents is suggested for animals under 21 days of age). Ear Punches/Notches In order to establish which is the right or left of the animal - position it so that the belly is down and the head is facing away from the you. Restrain, as appropriate, to facilitate performing the punch or notch. Ear Punches/Notches A single hole or notch may be made using an ear punch tool. Notches are accomplished by positioning the instrument at the edge of the ear, resulting in a hole that is only partially surrounded by tissue. Notches may also be made by removing a small wedge shaped piece(s) of tissue with small scissors Ear Punches Tissues removed during this process are generally ample Ear Notches enough to allow for genetic testing, especially when PCR is utilized. Sterile instruments and tubes are used to obtain and manipulate the tissue after collection, and should be sterilized between animals. Multiple punches may be made to collect enough tissue for analysis – each punch is approximately 0.5mm in diameter.

He began to forge out instruments and a few pair of shears-a trade he had learned thoroughly in t:urope. He worked slowly and with infinite care, and presently people began to say Wiss Shears were the best they had ever used. There was good reason for this approbation, for Wiss Shears were so well made that, after more than 50 years of service, some of the first pairs ever produced are still in existence. Slowly the Wiss enterprise grew; and in 1887 a small part of the present factory was built. It was devoted exclusively to the manufacture of fine shears and scissors, and it soon was crowded to capacity. To-day the factories of J. Wiss & Sons Company are the largest of their kind in the world-and the reason for their prodigious growth is a firm adher­ ence to the old policy of Jacob Wiss to produce nothing but goods of the highest quality. 5 Showing the WISS Shear Blade in various stages of development Wiss F orging Depa rtment where t he frames of Wiss Sliears are forged under powerful drop-hammers How Wiss Shears Are Made 0 the average man or woman one shear is very much like another.

  • IACUC Policy 16: Tail Snipping and Tail Biopsy of Rodents
    Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee IACUC Policy 16: Tail Snipping and Tail Biopsy of Rodents 1. Background The purpose of a tail snip is to obtain a small amount of tissue and/or blood from a rodent to prepare DNA for genotyping or other analysis. The technique involves the removal of the fleshy tail tip, thus avoiding the bony vertebral segments. A tail biopsy, which is a more invasive procedure, involves the amputation of the tail between bony vertebral segments. Both procedures usually lead to bleeding at the site. A tail snip is easily performed on mice ≤21 days. When ≤2mm length of tissue is collected from these young mice, the procedure does not cause the animal undue pain or distress because the vertebra in the distal tail tip are not yet calcified1, 2. By analogy, this procedure is similar to human ear piercing, which does not require the use of anesthetics nor analgesics. When a similar procedure is performed on older mice (>21 days), or when >2mm length tissue is collected, this constitutes a tail biopsy because the tissue removed will likely contain calcified vertebrae1, 2. A tail biopsy is considered to be a painful procedure and requires the use of anesthetics and analgesics, unless scientifically justified and approved by the IACUC. 2. Guidelines for Tail Snips (collecting ≤2mm tissue from mice ≤21 days) A. A tail snip is easy to perform and does not cause pain or distress. The use of anesthesia is suggested but not required. B. Tail snipping should be performed using sharp scalpel blades, scissors or razor blades.
