calibrate pyrometer

Hey Denis,
Most pyrometers have a little screw bottom center of
the case. Just below the glass.
When you carefully! turn that screw you change the needle... watch it
move about 100 degrees forward or backwards... You can only re-
calibrate the thing if you watch a known cone fall over in the kiln.
Say cone 06... =3D 1828 degrees Fahrenheit. See cone fall, move screw
so that needle says 1828 or close to it .... just did the job! Easy!
