New literature Heraeus catalogues The fourth edition of the Heraeus catalogue "The Technology of High Vacuum" has recently appeared. The catalogue, in two parts, has been brought out in such a form that supplements may be added and obsolete matter replaced at any time. It consists of two looseleaf files, the first containing details of vacuum components and the second, vacuum plant. The catalogues may be obtained from W. C. Heraeus G m b H , Abt Hochvacuum, 4650 Hanau, Postfach 169, West Germany. Literature from Veeco Veeco Instruments Incorporated have recently published two booklets of interest to vacuum workers. The first is a manual for the Veeco GA-4 residual-gas analyser, which details the step-by-step procedures of installation, alignment, operation, dismantling and maintenance of the analyser: for a description of this instrument see Vacuum, 1966, 16(2), 86. The 95-page manual contains in the first 25 pages a descriptive introduction to mass spectrometry and residual gas analysis. The second booklet is a 35-page guide to the Veeco 775 series, a modular group of push-button-controlled high-vacuum systems, stations, and evaporators. The first six pages are a guide to the selection of high-vacuum and evaporation systems. Both booklets are available from Veeco Instruments Incorporated, Terminal Drive, Palinview, Long Island, New York 11803, USA.
