A division also produced electric razors from 1937, and was sold in 1979 to form the Remington Products Company. Wafers of single crystal sapphire are also used in the semiconductor industry as a substrate for the growth of gallium nitride based blue and green light emitting diodes. This company merged in 1927 with the Rand Kardex Company to form "Remington Rand", which continued to manufacture office equipment and later became a major computer company. Such slices are used as watch faces in high quality watches, as the material's exceptional hardness makes the face almost impossible to scratch.

E. It can also be easily modelocked. Included were the rights to use the Remington name.

A version which shows an asterism is called a Star sapphire (see picture above).
