expand awareness, ask what is function?
two functions- distinctly different
1 bley only a portion of overall activity
wo functions are:
finishing work and check out of
turret type assemblies
6 other end of kedy- check out of
maybe qui tubes -
Xray for defects
they go to some other bey
relax
-----------
There are two types of turrets
more of the hump backed turrets than the
flat backed turrets
whata difference
one has like a counter balance

models, one has a harder turret
and a bigger barrel
which one
the counter balanced one
broaden perspectives even further what is
most important aspect of bley function?
@ metallurgical quality control.
checking and knowing the completeness
of the purity of the metal of the
gunbarrel is flawless
2 secondary is proper fitting and
seating, finishing of interconnecting
parts then measuring each
item identify with number
correlated To another part like a
turret sent of another part
of plant so continuity isut
disrupted.
fine floro
Construction of bavel tweet is a multiple
step process of 20-21 days. Table is
fastest portion manufactured. Production
deliberately delayed in some cases to
wait for the tunet (which is more)
critical from a quality point)
Alda next door has 8 separate production
lives on which (chassis) is assembled
the other kedy is just a pasembly area
having 28-35 days period
