The grinding of milling taps, cutters, general cuttingtools and other repetition work is particularly suitable for them. The makingof jigs and dies is, and possibly always will be, a highly skilled mechanicstask, but we look forward to the time when many more women will be ad-mitted to this branch of engineering work. Especially have the women aston-ished engineers in their aptitude for the handling of milling machines. ^ 22 8-POUNDER STEEL SOCKETS Section 2 r- n MillingInsideThread ofSteel Sockets for18-PounderShrapnelShells.
