Machine Tool Automation: A Description of the Numerical Tool Control System Developed by the Autonetics Division of North American Aviation, Inc.

Abstract

THE advent of the digital computer enables engineering designers to replace manual calculation by accurate high speed computation. The combination of the digital computer and a machine tool‐control system offers the possibility of reduced costs, improved accuracy and the reduction of the time interval between the conception of a design and the production of the finished part.
