German Production Equipment

Abstract

AT the time of the advent of the all‐metal aeroplane, there were no machine tools and equipment well suited to the peculiar manufacturing operations required. Save for the necessary machining operations, the mechanical labours were performed on equipment largely borrowed from the fitter's, tinsmith's, and coppersmith's trades.
