Show helps solve problems scale models fascinating miniatures that look and sometimes operate like their real counterparts are used by engineers and research technicians of the oil industry for operational studies planning and demonstration purposes some of the miniature models are so exact in design and construction st that they duplicate the operation as well as the appearance of the original for instance one industrial model has a jet rock drilling bit so tiny that it fits into the palm of 0 the hand yet so accurately made that it drills a hole in rock exactly like a real bit drilling through a hard formation hundreds of feet below the earths surface scale models like this have been important in develop developing lag improved drilling equipment the miniatures tiny by comparison make a huge contribution to petroleum progress as oil men use them in their constant efforts to provide more and better oil products |
