Production. Milling machines and machine castings. Many minds, many heads, many skills went into the construction of this large, hydraulically-operated milling machine. The slender shaft just below the figure "100" in the upper right is a tracer finger, so called because it feels its way gently around the edge of a pattern so that the cutters reproduce the pattern exactly in tough steel. This tracer, so sensitive that it can be deflected with the edge of a piece of cardboard, controls the movement of tons of machinery exerting fifteen or twenty horsepower of cutting force

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. A large tracer-controlled multiple spindle vertical hydraulic milling machine being tried out on the runoff line of a large machine tool plant, for its eventual job of helping to make master connecting rods for radial aircraft engines. Four of the partially completed rods are mounted on the fixtures in the foreground. When in operation, the machine will have fixtures for eight such rods, so that while the completely automatic tracing finger guides the four cutters (extreme background) around one set of four rods, the operator can be unloading and reloading the other four fixtures with new parts to be milled. This machine will probably be the fourth or fifth of a series of perhaps a dozen different sizes and types of machine tools which will each have to perform their operations before these parts become finished connecting rods

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. Fresh from the shakeout pit, where the mold is broken up and the sand sent back for reconditioning, new castings go to the core cleanout room to have the core sand removed with air and sledge hammers, vibrating machines and powerful hydraulic jets. Notice the core arbors sticking out of the sand. They are placed in the cores for the same reason that steel reinforcing bars are put in concrete floors and pillars.

He came to RCA in 1928 as a packer in the shipping department. He has been an inspector since 1940. Crawford suggested and designed a caliper for determining the wall thickness and relationship between a cored interior and outside surface of castings.
