The results presented in this paper form part of an investigation into quantitative aspects of photoetching-a comparatively recent technique in manufacturing technology which is outlined in Table 1. Very few research results have been published on the photoetching of metal precision piece· parts compared with those concerned with the manufacture of printed circuits and integrated circuits
