I also hope there's a place in hell for the ones who use "positive" and "negative" for plus and minus, or who read a script backwards, starting with the cylinder power.[/QUOTE]
I feel the same way about newbie weathermen who use positive and negative for temperatures ,... but I digress.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
Bows...had a few PT's and one employee call the temples bows... never heard of it till like last 6 months.
AKA... "Legs" "Arms" "Ear things" Legs make me chuckle...

Tempross is a trade name for air hardening of ophthalmic glass lenses. I remember ordering glass dress eyeglasses as Tempross 2.2mm (CT), industrial as Tempross 3.0mm or 3.2mm.

Tallboy,
I've always called this an axis plier, or axis alignment plier. Squib is journalism and legal jargon though.

Interestingly enough, I know a few LC people who call rimless compression mounting "squibs"
I googled squib and found out its another word for muggle in Harry potter or a miniature explosive device
That's what I thought!

As I recall the term "Tempross" was used by AO to distinguish a finished stock Tillyer 58 MM crown glass lens with a center thickness of 2.2 MM. I don't recall if it was a Trademark or used by other lens ophthalmic manufacturers. It also became a common term on Rx lens order forms.

This says it was a "process", but as you say, using an AO blank.

You've out-jargonized almost everyone here with that one, and it's still being done (plus tooling).

I always called it axis plier also, but an oldschool optician from Texas whom I worked for about 2 years called it the squib so that stuck for me.
Now calling compression mount pliers squibs is just ridiculousSince when did they do compression mounts at LC anyway?
Sounds more like old fool than old school, or they were havin' a little fun with ya.

LC has always done compression mounts. But they don't like to.
costco and walmart are the ones that won't touch drill mounts
Oh when I worked there all their drill mounts were with screw bushings, maybe they have started the compression since I left!

this annoys me to no end
