Whenever i am showing around a group of doctors, students, or guests around the factory, TC instruments become a particular source of interest for the viewers. Perhaps its the golden tint of the instrument that catches their eye or perhaps its the difference in process manufacturing that they note. Either way, following questions pop-up most commonly, so i thought why not post them up on the blog along with their answers. So here we go.
