Last year I worked on some large bearing-housings from a power-plant.
This would be the outer component.
Split of corse, but they must have been bolted together......
and I picture must have been on a 36" Bullard or larger.
But what would have been the method / attachment, Used to cut
the sphereical radius inside the housing?
I envision an arm that would extend from a fixed point in the table center
and hold a cutter, the arm then being swung verticaly by ram movement.
Natural I could be over-complicating this, as it was surely done often
and may have been some very simple arrangemnt.
Thanks and have a good Week-End.
