The plate deforms (buckles ) as a result of the considerable local remo val of metal and it accordingly undergoes a stress relief operation after which the dial side of the plate is either turned or shaped. Plates and cocks (bridges ) are s tress relieved in the PN- 3 1 6 electric pit furnace at 2 3 0 - 2 5 0°C for 2 hours . Piercing Center punching a 7 • c FIGURE 5. Pin holes in the plate a-preliminary drilling; b-punch-piercing of holes with simultaneous center punching of a group of other holes; Finish milling of the recesses for the train, escapement and balance, and the boring of the s tepped barrel recess follow. These operations bring the plate to the shape shown in Figure 6 . Next, 1 4 holes are rough- s haved leaving a n allowance for the finish shaving and the remaining 1 5 holes are pierced (Figure 7 ). The holes for the winding s tem and the fas tening screws of the dial feet (Figure 8) are then machined. Finally, 24 holes for the cock and bridge fitting pins and for the train, escapement and balance arbors are s haved (Figure 9 ). 2 0 9 |
