Themain jaws of the chuck are then released and the brass, stillclamped in the secondary jaws, is inverted. After closing themain jaws the brass is faced and removed. When linishing these brasses by the old method i)f laying up and machining in an engine lathe, about two hourswas required on each set, at a cost of 77 cents. By the use ofthis
