    Did you notice the 3 bearing crankshafts near the end? They had a tendency to break on the Mk. 1 Cortina. The later models had the 5 bearing crankshaft.

    You could always spot an oil drip pan under new BMC vehicles on the showroom floor. They continue to drip oil for the rest of their life. Engine oil was relatively cheap back then. I never experienced a drip from my later Japanese vehicles, not one drop for all the time I had them!

      My Morris minor leaked so badly I scrounged old engine oil from the company car mechanic. It did six thousand miles in some one less engine. Then it did another hundred in my car. It had 36,000 miles on the clock at 12 years. A big shock when I bought my first VW!

    What those guys would think if they saw all that production hardware replaced with a couple cnc machines nowadays.
    The fun it must be when a cutter breaks somewhere in the middle of that huge mechanism.
    Or they have to move a hole a tenth of an inch.

      I think this is much faster than cnc. It hard to beat special built machines. Notice the 8 boring heads boring 32 blocks in about 15 seconds . I own about 8 cnc machines

    • @paradiselost9946
      @paradiselost9946 7 месяцев назад +1

      production machines are still far closer to this than "CNC"... far faster to move lots of work through a bank of machines performing one specific task each than load a bank of machines capable of all tasks each, when one factors in tool changes and all that. two multi head drills will spotface and drill 32 holes in two operations, the CNC mill takes 64 operations and two tool changes.
      one man can run both setups. one will be standing idle more waiting for cycles to end. so it makes sense to get them to run ten setups. but then theres walking distances. and then theres 10X as many made and the rest of the production line cant cope... so then those ten machines sit idle. ok, run different machines as well... still gotta walk, and theres more chance of a mistake...
      swiss machines are comparable, and are often CNC now... but still, very little has changed from what they did to what they now do, if you went into the shop making valves and followers and other little round parts...
      CNC is a broad term... this was NC... plugboard. punchcard.
      the modern machine still needs all the same gauges, all the same toolsetting and endstops. its just using a few fancier electronics to do so.
      and everything is definitely faster! again... they invested so much capital on tooling up. sold cars. made money. then the next line up of tools was slightly better, a new factory got the new tools, new techniques... all those jigs took planning, design. the layout of the line, each step... usually a step forward, occasionally a step back...
      only thing you see different now is far less "dead time"... some of those feed rates are painful to watch!

      Transfer Lines (as these are caled) are very fast compared to CNC machines. CNC has flexibility but just the time changing tools eats up production volumes. I worked at Lister-Petter back in the laste 1990s and they had a transfer line for their own engines and a CNC line for the licence built Mitsubishi engines. The Transfer line could machine a cylinder block, start to finish, in a matter of minutes, the CNC line took several hours to machine one cylinder block.

      @@davidquirk8097 Yes, no doubt. Once the line was setup and tuned but not very flexible. CNC processes can be pretty slow but are highly flexible. Each being great for it's specific purpose. It's like comparing a 3d printer to an injection molder. One requires very expensive setup but is fast the other is a button press to change but slower.

    • @stxrynn
      @stxrynn 2 года назад +8

      I believe they used soluble oil, that's the white fluid. It was a mixture of oil and water. Like most modern cutting coolants. For the heavy machining they used oil. The shavings went back into the furnace and were reused. The oil or coolant was drained off and the rest burned away, IIRC.

    Listening to the audio track of the incessant "dry-drill syndrome" while machining the block is totally annoying to me. I retired as a machinist after 47 years and have often told the younger machinists that if the tool isn't cutting, it's just rubbing.... which means it's wearing out without any value to the effort.

      Haha, that would have been nice. Obviously the ball releases a mechanism so the scale is being tipped the other way. Why should the scale tip the other way when the ball is on that end that would weigh it down? The ball maze is just a very slow and instant pendulum, nothing more.
