and built by the United States Naval

The lathe is so long that the prepara-
tions for its installation include the
construction Of a tunnel extending out
under a highway, as there was not
room for it between the walls Of the
shop
The lathe bed itself is 1T5 feet long
and is made ia 1--WE sections, but the

UP to 1856 feet. The main portion Of
the bed on which the carriages travel
