Examples of tooling ingenuity at Grumman Aircraft; special tilting table used simplifies compound-angle milling of hinge-mounting surfaces on folding wing panels for carrier-based A-6A aircraft; special vacuum chuck shaped to hold LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) landing gear part (inset) in accurate position for turning tapered cross section; tedious milling operation in machining contoured edge-flange of LEM test vehicle bulkheads was simplified by adapting 14-ft Gray vertical turning and boring machine for tracer controlled milling.
