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
