BRITAIN’S AIRCRAFT
BEING BUILT MORE QUICKLY. A tricky problem of aircraft production has been solved by a new portable tool weighing only 21bs. On all modern aircraft, thousands of nut plates are used for securing cowlings. fairing strips, inspection panels, instruments and control runs. Formerly, for every one of these nut plates, three rivet holes had to be marked off and drilled separately, a slow and tedious business. Today, in one swift and simple operation. the new portable tool drills two holes accurately spaced and centred. This novel two-spindle portable drill, designed in Britain, is powered by the “Mighty Atom" pneumatic motor, many thousands of which are in use in the aircraft, factories of Britain, the Empire countries, and the United States.
