sealed glass bricks are provided at a high level on all but
the south side, thus shielding the equipment from direct
sunlight. Separate air locks are provided for the admission
of work and for pedestrian traffic.

an art rather than a science, the time and cost for the work
being difficult to estimate. Hence, there is both a functional
and an economic advantage in these foundations; they
keep manufacturing times to a minimum by maintaining
machine tool alignment over long periods. In addition,
continuity in correct gear cutting provides reliable
knowledge of process times, which is essential in the
preparation of manufacturing schedules and cost estimates.
