reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA130334 | Open PDF

Abstract:

An MTT project was funded to automate OD runout measurements on gun tube forgings from which straightness data is generated. ID straightness measurements proved more useful. A spec was prepared and fifteen firms solicited. The sole bid was three times original estimate which lead to the cancellation of the project.
