| 2805 forum posts 219 photos | Michael G: Thank you. "simple.wikipedia" sounded just the thing for me until I saw the warning at the head of the entry! I did look at it and noted the distinction between the effect of cross sectional shape and size as opposed to the material, a point made above. The Barker bar bed lathe comes to mind; according to lathes.co.uk it "employed three steel bars arranged so as to provide a stiff "box-section" mounting for the carriage" The design was the subject of a provisional patent.

... could you fill the column with fine dry sand ... Reminds me that one of the complaints about the Far Eastern machines was that the factory left large quantities of moulding sand in the column! |
