Abstract: A milling device for machining a slot into an inner surface of a casing for a gas turbine engine. The milling device includes a frame assembly including multiple structural guides configured to engage structural features on the inner surface of the casing to maintain an axial position of the milling device relative to a longitudinal axis of the casing. The milling device also includes a milling cutter coupled to the frame assembly. The milling device is configured to be displaced in a circumferential direction relative to the longitudinal axis to machine the slot, via the milling cutter, along the inner surface of the casing in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A sheet film cassette is provided with a flat housing 10 having a picture defining gate 14 on the front and a swingable rear wall 11 on the rear of the cassette. When the rear wall 11 is open, the cassette can be loaded from its rear. The rear wall 11 has a pressure device 20-22 located on its inner side to elastically force a sheet film loaded onto the cassette against supporting shoulders 18 located along the periphery of the picture defining gate 14 and lying in a common plane. The pressure device 20-22 has a flat pressure plate 20 and a bridge-like leader element 22 arranged between the pressure plate 20 and the rear wall 11. The leader element 22 has pairs of opposing support runners 23 that extend over the opposing peripheral edge of the pressure plate 20 and have stop faces 26 for interacting with the outermost peripheral edges of the loaded sheet film F.

Abstract: In the rotor blade ring of an axial flow turbomachine, the rotor blades are each provided at their radially outer ends with a shroud plate and are fastened at their radially inner ends, by means of a root, in a corresponding groove of the machine rotor. The shroud plates are connected together in the peripheral direction by means of wires rolled into turned recesses. Grooves (10), with a clear width (w.sub.1) which is dimensioned larger than the width (w.sub.2) of the shroud plate turned recess (8) provided for the wire (7) to be rolled in, are machined in the end surface (6) of the shroud plate (2). A spacer means (11), surrounding the wire at least in the region of the rolling positions and removable after rolling, is laid in the grooves during the rolling procedure. This material is preferably a hard paper which is burnt to ashes during machine operation.
