My response is-

Rodney is correct. On the newer instruments, the shades have frames that
are slightly bigger, but even so, sunlight can peep around them, especially
if they have not been exactly aligned. It's still a weakness. I've been
planning to glue on an additional light-stop to surround the light path and
block out extraneous light, but somehow haven't yet got round to doing it.
As for the index error drift, I would not disagree, but if a user adopts a
policy of rechecking index error, as I described, it doesn't prevent
accurate measurement.

Answer.

I asked them that question about six months ago, and they didn't. Just not
that sort of outfit, I reckon.
