Abstract
A portable machine is provided with a 7 cm × 5 cm daylight screen where a stereogram of the fibre ends is displayed. Easy adjustment is made without first cleaning the supports. The fibres are then polished, butted and welded automatically. Average losses of 0–06 dB arc obtained with graded-index fibres.Keywords
