Cut Production Costs With Modern Equipment
A cardboard disk was cut to the outside diameter of the cam and, at the crank distance from the center, the connecting rod (also made of cardboard) was pivoted. At the point H a small hole was punched. On the center line was laid off the distance the object was to be moved (in this case 9 in.) and divided into a number of equal spaces. Now a cam arm and roller were made from cardboard and pivoted at the center of shaft E. (It is understood that all this procedure was carried forward on a drawing board, with thumbtacks fur centers.) Now piece of cardboard of a con-venient length was made with a pointed end and fastened to the hub of the arm D. At the point of this card the radius I was scribed. The cam roller was then placed in contact with the line represent-• ing the base of the cam and a mark made at the point J. The same thing was done with the roller on the outside of the cam and a corresponding mark made at K. The space thus marked off on radius I was divided into the same number of spaces as were previously made upon the center line. The cam disk was moved around until the hole H coincided with the first division on the center line. The arm D was moved until the pointer lined up with the first division of the radius I. With a sharp pencil a line was then scribed around the cam roller. This operation was repeated for each division until the crank had made one-half revolution when the procedure was reversed. The cam thus formed is practically correct. The larger the number of divisions, the more accurate it will be. This method can be applied to many different constructions.

sectors, so he compromised by making them up of straight pieces as indicated at G; the outer surface of the casting being afterwards turned to the required radius in the machine shop, while the inner contour was allowed to remain as he left it. Parts B, C and G were then cut from slab cores 2 in. thick by means of a hack saw blade and finished up
