Hydraulic diagram for the quill feed

Twin rotary tables with hydraulic drive

Automatic die sinking: a Contourmaster fitted with two  rotary tables powered hydraulically (and hence with a very smooth movement) that could be set to turn, using valves, at any rate between 1/4 to 5 r.p.m. In addition, a chain drive from the power unit to the saddle cross-feed screw provided an automatic feed at precise intervals between 0.002" and 0.060" for each revolution of the table

Maker's publicity photograph showing, on the right, the copied part exactly as it left the machine and without further hand finishing

Reverse Image Attachment. From a single master it was possible to create an exact duplicate as a mirror image. The effect was achieved by mounting an auxiliary table, under the control of a gear and double rack arrangement, to provide a movement in the opposite direct to that of the main table

Three-dimensional tracer head on the 1C being used to accurately finish the mould for a saw handle. The stylus was guided by hand round a variety of curves and through an increase in depth from left to right
