Abstract
Lapping blind bores has until recently defied automation. It has depended on operators deriving information about the process through their fingertips and using the information to control the process. This article describes the information which was found to be passing through the fingertips and how an adaptive substitute for the operators brain could be made to control the lapping. Any similar system using human touch for detection and control could be automated.
