Ecusta Offers New Service To Employees
A MODERN NEW
VISUAL MACHINE
HAS BEEN BOUGHT
Ecusta Sign Department Goes All-Out For Safety
Will Enable Employees To
Check On Their Visual
Skill And Test Their Eyes
Ecusta is fortunate to be among
the few paper mills offering a new
visual service to its employees
through the introduction of
Bausch and Lomb’s new instru
®ent called the Ortho-Rater. This
machine is the result of years
pf research by Bausch and Lomb
connection with the psychology
^fipartment of Purdue University.
The purpose of this Occupation
al Vision program is threefold:
1—To provide present em
ployees with certain information
regarding their visual skills and
^0 let them know Whether or not
it would be to their advantage to
So to a competent eye doctor of
their own choice for advice.
2—To make periodic checks of
employee vision to determine
whether or not the desirable visu
al skill is being maintained. Vis-
lon is a bodily function that is
subject to change. If employees
are advised periodically about
their vision, corrective steps when
advisable can be taken.
3.--To aid in the proper place-
wient of new employees. Vision is
an important factor in an individ
ual’s ability to perform a certain
job, and it is desirable to have the
new employee placed on the job
^or which his or her vision is best
adapted.
Testing is done on an instru-
*^ent known as the Ortho-Rater, a
Precision device developed and
standardized by the Bausch and
Lomb Optical company. It is con
sidered outstanding fo^ checking
Industrial visual skills. The test
is's system was worked out in col
laboration with committees repre
senting the National Associations
Ophthalmalogists, Optometrists,
®nd Opticians.
, In preparation for the installa
tion of this new equipment, the
Company sent H. E. Newbury to
furdue University for a course of
i^itensive training. This prepara
tion is required of any company
desiring the installation of the
Ortho-Rater.
Plans are being made to give
Our present employees the benefit
an examination with this new
®^uipment as a part of a coordi
nated program for the care of the
eyes.
There has been fine cooperation
®n the part of all employees in all
such programs, and a continuation
this fine spirit and the pros
pects of accomplishing much more
the future are anticipated.
