Serious technical problems involved in manufacture of pipe assemblies for aircraft; possibility examined to achieve automatic welds by method involving rotating weld head round workpiece; gas shrouding; it was found that orbital welding technique, using newly developed machine, could effect sound butt weld between fully formed tube held in fixed position and end fitting positioned in correct relationship to it; entire welding procedure carried out by operation of 2 switches.
