Automation in Aircraft Bearing Production: An account of the production methods adopted by Ransome Hoffmann Pollard Ltd. to meet the problem of small batch runs required by the aircraft industry

Abstract

ALTHOUGH the bearing industry has always operated on small batch production runs, nowhere does this become more apparent than with components for the aerospace industry. An order for 300 of any particular size is extreme, the average runs being 50–80.
