process with respect to the remainder of the lot. If the mitring
had not been done properly, the temples would have been remitred
if possible, or if not, they would have been scrapped and
replaced.
When necessary, operators at B&L Ireland removed cosmetic
blemishes from plastic sunglasses using a polishing machine that
had a spinning wheel with surfaces for polishing and buffing.
The operator held the blemish, which was marked with a yellow
grease pencil, to the polishing surface until it could not be
seen (or it was determined that the blemish could not be re-
moved). The operator used the buffing surface to remove the
polish from the lenses.
After the operator completed the lensing, mitring, templing,
truing, inspection, and any repair functions, the lot was sent to
the inspectors for a 100-percent inspection. They performed an
inspection with respect to plastics that was similar to the
inspection performed with respect to metals. If the sunglasses
passed the inspection, they were packed and audited in a manner
similar to the respective packing and auditing functions per-
formed with respect to metals.
