chuck. These jaws grip the work on the inner side of the rim, leaving room for a tool to finish the rear face without striking the chuck body or jaws. Three rests _c_ are provided between the chuck jaws. The work is pressed against these rests while being tightened in the chuck, and they serve to locate it so that the arms will run true so far as sidewise movement is concerned. These rests also locate the casting with relation to the stops for the turret and carriage movements. The chuck carries a bushing _r_ of suitable diameter to support the boring-bars in the main turret, as will be described. In the first operation, boring-bar _m_ is brought in line with the spindle and is entered in bushing _r_ in the chuck. Double-ended cutter _n_ is then fed through the hub of the pulley to true up the cored hole. While boring the hole, the scale on the front face of the rim and hub is removed by tool _j_. Tool _k_ is then brought into action to rough turn the periphery, after which tool _e_, in the wing rest, is fed down to clean up the back face of the rim. As soon as the scale is removed, the hole is bored nearly to size by cutter _n_{1}_ in bar _m_{1}_, and it is finally finished with reamer _q_ mounted on a floating arbor. The cutters _f_, _g_ and _h_, in the facing head, are next brought up to rough face the hub and rim, and round the corners of the rim on the front side. This operation is all done by broad shaving cuts. The facing head in which the tools are held is provided with a pilot bar _t_ which fits the finished hole in the flywheel hub, and steadies the head during the operation. The cutters _f_, _g_ and _h_ are mounted in holders which may be so adjusted as to bring them to the proper setting for the desired dimensions. This completes the roughing operations. [Illustration: Fig. 7. Turret Lathe Tool Equipment for Machining Flywheels] The periphery of the rim is now finished by cutter _l_ in the turret toolpost which is indexed to the proper position for this operation. The rear face of the rim is finished by the same tool _e_ with which the roughing was done. Tool _e_ is then removed and replaced with _d_ which rounds the inner corner of the rim. Tool _d_ is also replaced with a third tool for rounding the outer corner of the rear side. For finishing the front faces of the rim and hub and rounding the corners of the rim, a second facing head, identical with the first one, is employed. This is shown in pos
