In order 4to move, guide and support the work, there are employed a pair of tracks 86. They are shown, -for example in Figure 9 as circular bars mounted on supports 3| upwardly extending from the iside frame members 2. Mounted to ride on the rails is a carriage including end plates 82, bottom members 83 and `side plates 84.

In the event that the workhas aperturesin it as are shownjfor example at 93, in the workgenerally indicated as 92 in Figurel, it may be advantageous to surround the apertured portion .of thev work'with any suitableguard orshield 94 whereby the vescape of the cooling liquid isprevented, the. liquid :being Acaught by the shield. Similarly a lower shield 95may be employed with a bottom drainage opening S6. y I

In order: to'actuate .the work andthe supporting carriage therefor, there is provided a longitudinal extending rack :bar -98 carrying a lrack 1.9.9 iin mesh with a pinion Hlldriven Vby-a shaft Illl, sprocket |62, chain|-,3,fsprocket |04, and

One end of the rack is connected to the carriage asat .H0 tto the downwardly projecting stop bar ||2 is any suitable hold down .roller for holding the ,rack downwardly against the pinions |00. The rack bar, beyond the pinion le!) may be supported in anyfsuitable guiding and supporting angles H3, which maybe supported in any suitable manner, kfor examp-leasat H4. ||5 is any suitable'term-inal stop which may have an adjustable member |-|6 `for .engaging the end of the rack bar 98. :I lvlisfanysuitable stop member vwith .an adjustable member |.|8 for the opposite end of thecarriage excursion. It is shown as pivoted at I I9 so that it can be alternately positioned in two different positions.

. It will be understoodV that in the operation of the device, /the stops need not normally be ein-.- ployed. For example, an'ysuitable control may be .employed for the motor for insuring if desired,

yan automatic reversal. When such automaticreversing `means are employed, the carriagewill move alternately in each direction reversing its direction at some predetermined point.

Referring to the form of Figuresy 14 and'15, there is illustrated a variant form of head in which cutting or grinding elements are mounted forcentrifugal generally axial sliding movement.

-Thereis illustrated for example, a hollow hub I lwhich is substantially the same as the hub shown Vin Figure 3; The details therefore will not be redescribed.

Extending radially therefrom are channels I2| which may beheld on the hub for example by pressed rings |22, |23. The structure .as a whole is preferably welded together. `Supported at the outer ends of the channe1s,vone at eachside of the head are end cages formed of U- .shaped membersy I 24 with end platesv I 25; slidable Within the channel formed by the U -shaped members |24, are abrasive or polishing elements |26 which may, if desired, be mounted in metal shells |21. In response to rotation ofthe head, the grinding members I 2B move centrifugally outwardly against the work 92 as shown for example in Figure l5. The cooling liquid may be delivered from the interior of the hollow hub I 2U by any suitable passages I 28 which communicate with distribution pipes. |29 which may be providedwith slots or a plurality of apertures |30 which, spray the liquid infront ofthe zone of engagement of the members |26 with the work.

, v Itr will -be realized that Whereas I have shown and described an' operating device, still many changes might be made in the size, shape, 'arrangement, number and disposition of parts without departing materially from the spirit of my invention. I wish, therefore, that my showing betaken as in a largesensediagrammatic and illustrative. For example, vit will be understood -that depending` upon the .shape of the work, a

variety of adjusting ,means may be employed( associated with the carriage. What is essential is that there shall be an initial reasonably `accurate alignment between the rotating element A and the inner aperture of the work.

Theuse and operation of this invention areas follows:

.There is provided by lthe present invention, means .for and a method of finishing the interiori of a more or less elongated cylindrical aperture.

It is applicable, for example,fto engine cylinders preferably ofrelatively large size or to large valve blocks or in general tubular members` and housings Where a smooth inner' surface is desired. Foril example, where pistons or moving parts are `employed within a cylindrical bore in the particular exemplication; herein described and shown, a grinding or finishing head is provided at the extremity of an arm or support of substantial length, The support is shown as horizontal but i it will be understood, of course, that the work can be moved about on the support even though the support is angularly disposed in relation to the horizontal. In any event, some appropriate carrying' means is employed such as the carriage, herein shown, for receiving thev Work and for moving the Work alternative in opposite directions sovrthat, during rotation of-the headAA, thebore of the work is subjected to the centrifugalthrust yterweightsml? are so manipulatedthat the cen- ...6 ofthe segments- III against-the innellface of the work. A,The segments IIJ andjthe s hoesini which they .are` mounted are thrust outwardly v in such manner-` that centrifugal force permitsthemgto jadjusttheir position-lin relation to the inner face .Qf. the .Workf-f The thrust is sufficient t0 smooth the surface of the work and, duringrelative move- .ment ofthe work andthe rotating head, .thecylindrical surface of theiworlf:v maybe smoothed and to a substantial degree trued from end to end.

Note that ythe segments IIlfand` their tsupporting shoes are connected by intermediate links `IiI tothe rings 5I andthe links 59 provideloose connectionswith the centers 62. Thus the subjection of the shoesand segments to centrifugal force, as a result oftherotation of the head A, causes a generally uniform thrust'of-all parts of the outer surface ofthe segments against the inner surface of the work.l I 3 e Y It Will be, understood,` of cours-e, that'thecouny to be planed or ground off. Experience indicates alsov that'the interior' ofthe Work isgground down to a close'approximation to a truly uniformdiameter. ,f y

It is even possibley to convert a :more or lesstaperedtube fromy a tube of uneven diameter by controlling thelength.ofthe'passes and giving .the tool aprogressively greater 4number of passes through t-he initially more restricted part of the tube.. Theinvention may thus .be employed to obtain the following effects 453m ,(a), The 4smooth finishing of the interior surface; f

- (b.) The elimination'of irregularities and sharp variations in radius of the inner surfaces (c) The general truing up of the inner surface Yto give it,l at anypoint, ari-approximation totruly circular cross section; and

L (d) `.l'tendering theinterior ofthe tubular element of substantially uniform. diameter from end .to end.

rial. t5 j Itwiu be unrstoa that the cuenten/eighting of the shoe.i6,3 provides an automatic adjustment, since as the :grinding material Wears away, the heavy metal shoe advances further from the center ofrotation and thereby increases its centrifugal weight.
