A NEW TOPSLIDE WITH HIGH-RESOLUTION ANGULAR READOUT

摘要

Photograph 1 shows the result of my latest project: a new topslide for my lathe with a 0.036 degree precision digital readout of its angle. The angle with respect to the ways and its complementary angle (with respect to the cross slide) are shown and the fractional degrees are also represented as minutes of angle (in parentheses).
