A Keller machine cutting a die shape from a plaster model. The model is at the top. A "feeler" tool runs along the surface of the model and controls the cutting tool at the bottom in such a manner that the contours of the model are duplicated with an extremely high degree of precision in the cast-iron form on the bottom. The die being made is the profiling pad for an automobile front fender. Plant of Frederick Colman & Sons, Inc., Detroit, Michigan
