Among the most ingenious things about these repairs are the imaginative ways in which the parts are made to be able to be worked in a lathe. Not obvious, at least to me, that first one. Using the broken shaft itself as the spinning component is clever. Mind you, isn’t the run out at the perimeter so large that machining the broken face will result in a worked surface that’s not perpendicular to the part overall?
Geniale. Cos'è di altri tempi.
