Relay reliability is demonstrated by performing life tests on a representative sample randomly selected from each manufacturing lot. Lot sizes vary to a maximum of about one week's production of a particular configuration. Generally, the testing is carried out at the maximum ambient temperature and at the rated contact loads in a controlled environment. The samples are cycled to the minimum rated life of the relay, and the failures are used to calculate the demonstrated reliability. 1, record 12, English, - relay%20reliability

A special form of reed relay. It consists of a glass encapsulated reed, with its base mounted in a pool of mercury and the other end arranged so as to move between two sets of stationary contacts. By capillary action, the mercury flows up the reed to coat the movable and stationary surfaces, thus assuring mercury-to-mercury contact during make. 2, record 20, English, - mercury%2Dwetted%20reed%20relay
