Lathe. Every part, including such small details as bolts and nuts, were made by the constructor, in preference to buying ready-made. The patterns for the castings were made on the same lathe. The cylinders are of cast iron, turned from the solid bar, while the crank-case is of aluminium. Where the parts were too large to swing in the lathe, they were machined by various rigs, bolting to the boring table, etc, The extremely fine finish on the whole engine is a testimony to the skill of the maker, and also to the qualities of the lathe. |
