Tools for the Industry

Abstract

A Selection of Equipment of Use in the Production and Maintenance of Aircraft, Missiles, Space Vehicles and their Components. The Aviation Division of S. Smith and Sons (England) Ltd. has recently purchased a second autodrill produced by Vero Precision Engineering Ltd., South Mill Road, Regent's Park, Southampton. According to Mr Beagle, Machine Shop Superintendent, the Smiths Organization could not afford to be without a second machine since the first has proved so successful. On one order for 50 off navigational instruments the Company had shown a very favourable saving on tooling costs. The majority of tools concerned would have involved a large percentage of jig boring with a commensurate high hourly rate being charged.
