Abstract
A MODERN machine shop in any large works would be very incomplete indeed without a full complement of milling machines. The proportion of the class of machinery very largely depends upon the class of work dealt with. For instance, in a sewing- machine, cycle, or motor-car factory the milling machine would predominate, being in many specialised forms, each machine designed for some particular function. On the other hand, in a general engineering establishment any milling machines installed would be of the universal type, and capable of dealing with many different operations, such as the universal machines made by Brown and Sharpe, of U.S.A., and many others.
