THE METHOD OF PRODUCING A TWIST-FREE ASSEMBLY OF ELONGATED AND SYMMETRICALLY PARALLEL ELECTRODE RODS ADJACENT ONES OF WHICH ARE EQUIDISTANTLY SPACED FROM EACH OTHER ALONG THEIR ENTIRE LENGTH AND OPPOSITE ONES OF WHICH ARE EQUIDISTANTLY SPACED FROM EACH OTHER ALONG THEIR ENTIRE LENGTHS, THE DISTANCES BETWEEN EACH SET OF ADJACENT RODS BEING THE SAME AND THE DISTANCES BETWEEN EACH SET OF OPPOSITE RODS BEING THE SAME, SAID RODS BEING UTILIZED AS THE DEFLECTOR ELECTRODES OF THE ANALYZER SYSTEM OF A MASS SPECTROMETER, SAID METHOD COMPROSING THE STEPS OF PLACING A TUBE OF ELECTRICALLY POORLY CONDUCTING AND SOFTENABLE MATERIAL COAXIALLY OVER AN ELONGATED CORE MOLD HAVING GROOVES PARALLEL TO THE AXIS OF THE MOLD FORMED THEREIN, SOFTENING THE TUBE MATERIAL TO CONFORM ITS SHAPE TO THAT OF THE GROOVES, HARDENING THE MATERIAL SO THAT THE PART IN THE GROOVES FORMS INWARDLY PROTRUDING RIGID TUBE PORTIONS, REMOVING THE MOLD FROM THE TUBE, AND METALLIZING THE INNER SURFACE OF THE PROTRUDING PORTIONS OF THE TUBE WHEREBY THE METALLIZED PORTIONS ARE ADAPTED FOR USE AS THE DEFLECTOR ELECTRODE RODS.
