And the Day 1 Precision Finals of the 2019 U.S. Army Junior Rifle Championships are a wrap with Macy Way taking the Gold, Mackenzie Miller with the Silver and Scott Rockett with the Bronze. The annual, invitation-only event brings more than 150 of the top junior marksmen to Fort Benning, Georgia to vie for top honors. Many of these juniors go on to shoot for colleges, military services and even the Olympics. This truly talented bunch of young athletes are something to watch!

Being extremely silly testing my ability to precisely toss and spin my camera. The object of the experiment was to match the spin of the ceiling fan blades so that they appear non moving while everything else moves.

In the process of heat treatment, the precision plastic injection mold often produces deformation. In order to prevent this kind of problem, as long as we grasp the deformation law, analyze the causes, and adopt different methods to prevent the deformation of the mold, it can be reduced and controlled. In general, the following methods can be adopted to prevent the heat treatment deformation of precision injection mold.
(1) Reasonable selection of materials: the micro deformation die steel with good material should be selected for the precision plastic injection mold, the mold steel with severe carbide segregation should be reasonably cast and carried out, and the large and non-casting mold steel can be treated with solid solution double refinement heat treatment.
(2) The mold structure design should be reasonable, the thickness should not be too different, and the shape should be symmetrical. For the large deformation mold, we should grasp the deformation pattern and reserve the processing allowance. For the large ones, the combined structures of precision injection mold can be adopted.
(3) The precision injection mold should be pre-heat treated to eliminate the residual stress in the process of mechanical processing.
(4) Reasonably select the heating temperature and control the heating speed. For the precision injection mold, slow heating, preheating and other balanced heating methods can be adopted to reduce the heat treatment deformation of the mold.
(5) Under the condition of ensuring the hardness of the mold, the pre-cooling, staged cooling quenching or warm quenching process of the injection mold should be adopted as far as possible.
(6) For precision injection mold, vacuum heating quenching and cryogenic treatment after quenching shall be adopted as far as possible if the premise permits.
(7) The precision of some precision and complicated dies can be controlled by pre-heating treatment, aging heat treatment, quenching, tempering and nitriding heat treatment.
(8) When repairing sand hole, air hole, wear and other defects of mold, cold welding machine and other repair equipment with small heat influence shall be selected to avoid deformation in the repair process.
Among the French 35mm camera produced by « Optique & Précision de Levallois S.A. » from 1945 to the middle of the 60’s, the FOCA Universel « RC » is likely the most captivating ever produced in France at that time.
The camera was the last development of the FOCA, sometime called the « French Leica » because the optical and mechanical precision matched and even surpassed the original thread-mount Leica. Far before the first Leica M (the M3 in 1954) O.P.L. developed a bayonet-mount FOCA in 1948 called the FOCA « Universel ». Seeing the incredible viewer and range finder of the Leica M that is likely the most sophisticated system even engineered, O.P.L. released lately a great improvement of the FOCA with a novel collimated, parallax auto-corrected, of a fully original and different design of the Leitz system.
The FOCA Universel RC It is a rare camera that only appears for time to time on the collector market, being only produced to a bit more than 2000 overall units in the years 1962 and 1963, just before O.P.L. decided to quit the camera production and returned to other instrumental optical production. O.P.L. soon merged with SOM Berthiot and today can be found still in the industrial filiation of SAFRAN group, the French leader company for designing and producing system for aerospace appliances. The plant where the FOCA's were produced still exists in an almost original form in Châteaudun, Eure-et-Loir, France.
I got my first FOCA URC unit two years ago (Sept. 2023, flic.kr/s/aHBqjAV6Dg) that is a standing and emotional piece of my small camera collection.
I got this one from an apparently ignored auction on the French eBay. We were only two biders in the last 5s and I won the auction not far away to the initial price. The camera was fully revised, with new shutter curtains, a new delayed shutter release mechanism. The serial number indicated a year-1962 production starting with 1.000.000, closed to my first FOCA URC. The camera works in every functions like on its Day-1! The camera came with a late version 1962 of the OPLAR 1:2.8 f=5cm standard collapsible lens of excellent quality, the FOCA UCR dedicated ever-ready leather bag with the original leather neck strap in good condition.
The original O.P.L. camera warranty and a registration postal card fortunately followed the life of the camera, indicating that this beautiful FOCA Universel RC was sold to its first owner on August 9, 1963 by the official FOCA dealer « ROYAL-PHOTO, Photo-Ciné-Magnétohone », 42, rue Vignon, Paris 9ème arrondissement, France, today a Weill fashion shop at the same address. The address of the owner also still exists with the original Parisian building in place, Boulevard Poniatwski, next to the Métro station « Porte de Charenton », Paris 12ème arrondissement.
The shown original FOCAL Universel RC user manual is the one that came with my other FOCA URC camera.
These information pushed me to question what were the news in France on this Friday, August 9, 1963… France was mainly on vacation, by an exceptional wet and fresh weather that wasted many French citizens holidays. The whole national radio information bulletin is still available online here :
