Quartz Fibre Dosimeter Chargers
The 1958-9 'Quartz Fibre Dosimeter Chargers, No. 1 and 2' were retained until the early 1990s as they do not require batteries at all (they incorporate a simple handle-driven generator). A later British civil defence dosimeter charger was developed by R. A. Stephen Ltd and manufactured from 1967–88, and uses a single 1.5 volt cell. It is similar to American dosimeter chargers.

Famous quotes containing the word fibre:
“I see now our fireside formed into a groupe, no one member of which has a fibre in their composition which can ever produce any jarring or jealousies among us. No irregular passions, no dangerous bias, which may render problematical the future fortunes and happiness of our descendants.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
