If the mills of defense ‘seem to grind slowly, it’s partly because they must grind so exceedingly fine. In the making of parts for guns and engines during the World War 0 | master mechanics talked in ultimate

|measurements of a few thousandths 01 of an inch. In preparing for today’s

high-velocity, super-speed warfare, 1-10,000 of an inch is the common unit of machine tolerance.

In a few cases, they even speak of millionths. There are ‘heavy pieces of metal, such as crankshafts, which are as delicately finished as your watch, and far more carefully inspected. Precision workmanship, applied to new steels so hard that a file can’t scratch them, gives vital extra efficiency to engines of war. At the Pratt & Whitney factory, in East Hartford, Conn., master gauges for the daily checking of all micrometers are kept at a constant temperature in an air-conditioned room to prevent their slightest variation. For ‘some jobs in a few factories, hyper-sensitive eleetrical measuring devices are required. The old phrase, “a hair’s breadth,” today would be as vague and gross a term as “an hour’s walk” or “an arm's length.” . In a Springfield, Mass, plant where fuel injector pumps are made for . Diesel engines, workmen had trouble fitting sleeves inside barrels, though preliminary checking showed that the dimensions were right. Finally, it was discovered that he warmth of the men’s hands, durin, the few moments of handling the thin cylinders, caused enough expansion so that the parts just wouldn't go together.
