An Automatic Smoking Machine. 2nd Report: The Automatic Control of Butt Lengths and its Use as Control Device/Eine vollautomatische Rauchmaschine: II. Mitteilung: Automatische Kontrolle der Stummellänge und ihre Verwendung als Steuerprinzip

A device for the automatic control of butt lengths which can be attached to the automatic smoking machine is described. The system controls the length of butts by measuring the infra-red radiation of the glowing zone of the burning cigarette and releases the automatic ejector of butts when the requi...

The system controls the length of butts by measuring the infra-red radiation of the glowing zone of the burning cigarette and releases the automatic ejector of butts when the required length has been reached. The system is adjustable for any length of butts.
