Abstract
GAUGING the diameter, position, and depth of 50 holes in a light alloy rotor head plate for Westland Helicopters now takes just 15 minutes at the Brockenhurst works of aerospace subcontractor Redmayne Engineering Ltd, with their new Validator microprocessor‐controlled co‐ordinate measuring machine from Brown & Sharpe Ltd, Plymouth. Previously this job took 4 hours using height gauges and other manual techniques.
