Soldering Photo Albums
Bob Willis, world-renowned soldering expert, has developed an extensive
library of electronic assembly soldering photographs. These are available
on CD-ROM, and are an essential resource for process engineers and trainers
for illustration of soldering concepts. ALC is pleased to make Bob’s
well-known soldering photo albums available for secure on-line purchase.
These soldering photographs are provided as a resource for workshops
and general educational events. The images are also ideal for use in
manuals, standards, and to illustrate technical articles and textbooks.
The photographs are provided royalty free provided they are not resold
as individual images or as part of an image library.
Below each album description are links to a list, and low-resolution thumbnail
examples of the images. These are partial examples of the content, the
photo album CDs provide larger high-resolution images, are updated continually
and typically contain much more.
