I found myself here during a research project on my professional history {long story} but I’d like to find more information on one of my old projects.
I was the project engineer/manager for what we called the “Cincinnati Milacron 10-Axis Spar Mill”. We did a cooperative development for installation in Long Beach, supporting production of the Douglas DC-10 wing spar. About 90 feet of forged aluminum with a bend in it, tapered, etc.
I’m 76 now, and making no excuses for my dim memories, but I think the principal company rep was Mr. Richardson {Keith?}, but I might well be mistaken.
Just a bit of trivia for my bonafides: Try to get a 120’ foundation to stay level when the concrete is poured over what was a swamp and the tides go in and out!” We used a Hewlett Packard laser interferometer to certify lengths to the ‘tenths’… And lastly I had to educate a bunch of machinists about the concept of ‘Adaptive’ NC.
Any, all information will be handled respectfully, and I’ll comply with any other restrictions you might have.
